Visitors to Wisconsin Get New Greeting

Frederica Freyberg:

Turning back now to Wisconsin, with a new administration comes a new slogan. A little more than a month ago, the Evers’ Administration replaced the “open for business” line on Wisconsin’s border signs with Evers’ name. The change prompted some legislators to ask what would happen to the old signs. And this week, they got their answer. The Evers’ Administration wrote that they would convert the old ones into detour and other road signs. One Republican representative called the move “ironic,” saying a detour is exactly what Evers’ policies may produce. Evers responded, saying he wanted to return the welcome signs to their original design.
