Learning from Ireland
Ireland - A global economic champion...
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinal accompanied the Wisconsin Governor to Ireland. They observed:
"While riding down a rural Irish lane so narrow that two cars could barely pass - much less avoid the wandering sheep - Gov. Jim Doyle mused out loud last week about the contrast between the bumpy road and the growing technology center that lay at its end."
"Back in Wisconsin, Doyle said, most argue that the state must build expensive highways to lure factories and research facilities."
"But Ireland didn't put its money into roads, said fellow traveler Tim Sheehy, president of the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce. "They put it into education," Sheehy said."
