Wisconsin ranks last again for start-ups - as a WI native & entrep.this is painful to read... N.E. WI needs an Accelerator

"For the second year in a row, Wisconsin has earned a bottom-of-the-barrel ranking for start-up business activity"... http://www.jsonline.com/story/money/business/onramp/2016/08/25/wisconsin-innovation-last-again/89313028/

The be sure entrepreneur activity is not zero but compared to other states/regions it's nothing to brag about. As an independent (and indy thinker) I sense that the cacophony of news, policy decisions, statements, the posture of those decision makers at the state level, the changes (damage) done to the University rep. and budget reverberates in a non positive way with many millennials. This only exacerbates the impression that I've read and felt for years that many hold that the Mid-West is a 'fly-over' between coast for many investors and others. Despite all that we continue with our innovations and entrepreneur activity here in WI. because we are passionate about our home state and hopeful about its future regardless of the (regressive) holding pattern or state seems to be on for many. Maybe I should push forward our accelerator for our region. Every bit helps right. Accelerator in N.E. WI See our pdf outline. Thanks
