The Wisconsin Sell-Out

Wisconsin--thanks to Scott Walker--is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Koch Industries and the mining companies.  Here is Walker in 2013, speaking about a bill written by the mining industry:
On behalf of the unemployed skilled workers in our state who will benefit from the thousands of mining-related jobs over the next few years, I say thank you for passing a way to streamline the process for safe and environmentally sound mining in Wisconsin.
One mining company recently announced that it's closing its office in northern Wisconsin.  Number of jobs created?  Approximately zero.
