I sure would appreciate if folks here could help me refute/rebut this piece. A smug liberal relative sent this and said, "care to comment?"

Yes, yes I would. Please help.

Wisconsin has/had much more Heavy Industry, something that has been pretty much destroyed in the last 40 years (and especially the last 6) by Liberal/Democrat economic policies.

Minnesota has a large Air Hub, with a moderate number of flights to Europe and Asia. Corp HQ’s are going to go to a hub city, out of convenience.

Minnesota's current governor, Mark Dayton, assumed office in 2011.

How much of Minnesota's current prosperity came from the prior 8 years of Republican Tim Pawlenty? (Hey, if the Dems can cry "Bush's fault" for years ...)

Hey Space, I don’t believe this article. I think it is a lie.

Scott Walker is using Reaganomics in Wis and it is working great.

Here is a comparison that PMSNBC won’t mention. Wisconsin is one of only 2 states with a fully funded public employees pension system. Minnesota’s pension underfunding is over $16 billion- up 4 billion since 2010

A more valid comparison would be Minnesota vs. the Dakotas and Wisconsin vs. Illinois.
