Ken Notes: I need a new marketing team, I reach 12K Wisconsin professionals and elected officials every week with a positive message about economic development and growth in the State (not to mention a pro business environmental spin on Mondays) and make less than 20K per year on the effort.

If I had 6 million to entice millennials to move to Wisconsin. We would spend some money on these ideas:
  • A tax plan/credit to pay interest on student loans for millennials who stay in the state!

  • Spend money on "wet space" for UW entrepreneurs to develop there ideas.

  • Work with WARF to incentivize keeping our patents in State.

  • Develop a real apprenticeship program targeting at least 20% of our high school students.

  • Develop or support more co-working spaces in the state. Visit a co-working space and see how millennials come up with and grow ideas.

  • Spend some of the 6 million on LOCAL ED programs and ask these people to work with millennials. A handshake is worth far more than a train add.
