Lots of big companies and businesses left the state. Should the tax payer fund them all in hopes that they stay?
Private money could have funded this project completely and we could have added more jobs and tax revenue to the state by allowing the casino to be built in Kenosha and Walker said no to that math.

No, you would have criticized him for that as well because you are an all around dishonest person. Your post simply ignores the facts of this situation.

Lots of big companies and businesses left the state under JIM DOYLE (fixed it for you). Walker has reversed the tide.
Under Walker the unemployment rate has dropped by half to FOUR POINT NINE PERCENT and is in the top 20 in the US.

Dishonest. Jim Doyle gave the store to the tribes and any casino building requires unanimous consent or there are major revenue losses.
Wisconsin would have lost very siginificant revenues from the Potawatomies.
****As tensions rise over a proposed Indian casino in Kenosha that would compete with the Forest County Potawatomi tribe’s Milwaukee gaming operation, the Potawatomi are refusing to pay their casino fee of at least $25 million to the state.
In a letter to lawmakers Tuesday, Gov. Scott Walker said the payment was due June 30 and its absence is having an effect on the state’s two-year budget, which has only limited reserves.
Walker said his administration faces a tricky task in deciding whether to approve the more than $800 million off-reservation casino proposed for Kenosha by the Menominee tribe.
Compact agreements negotiated by Gov. Jim Doyle’s administration include clauses to reimburse some tribes for losses resulting from a new tribal competitor, payments that could equal tens of millions of dollars to the Potawatomi and the Ho-Chunk tribes.
The math never added up to anything but red-ink, unfortunately, since Doyle took the Indian’s money and tied the State up.
