Wisconsin has pulled back from the brink of fiscal insolvency after Governor Scott Walkers collective bargaining and budget reforms, despite doomsday warnings of fiscal disaster.
Neighboring Illinois, whose Democratic governor opted for tax hikes, has not fared as well.
Wisconsin voters appear happy with Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsins economic resurgence. Gov. Walker got 626,538 votes in his May 8 uncontested recall primary, more than the two main Democratic candidates combined.
That total is also more than all the GOP candidates combined in the contested 2010 GOP primary, as well as the highest voter turnout for a gubernatorial primary in 60 years.
Unemployment has dropped from 7.7 percent to 6.8 percent since Walker took office. Unemployment in neighboring Illinois, however, only dropped below 9 percent in Marchthe first time it has done so in two years.
Wisconsin property taxes have fallen for the first time in 12 years. The states adult debt per capita is roughly $687. Illinois is about $853.

Democrats are out there beating Walker up, saying the state has lost jobs, Schneider said. But Democrats just voted against a mine in northern Wisconsin that would have created jobs. Theyre rooting for things to be as bad as possible.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin managed to eliminate its deficit while not decimating public schools, contrary to the predictions of many opposing Walker.
Youve gotten some positive results, but more importantly, the sky didnt fall, American Enterprise Institute scholar Andrew Biggs said in an interview with the Free Beacon. The schools opened, the teachers didnt get laid off, the kids kept learning.
The Wisconsin State Journal recently surveyed Dane Countys 16 main school districts on preliminary non-renewal notices and found that only two full-time and seven part-time employees had been laid off.
School districts have saved $211 per student from competitive bidding, according to Schneider, adding up to nearly $200 million in savings statewide.
The only schools that are losing jobs are those that chose not to implement the changes, Schneider said.
I see some think job losses are a good thing
