Controversial Republican Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin will venture south into blue-state territory next month to talk to Illinois business leaders about state pension debt and other issues. Walker will be keynote speaker for a business lobby-day in Springfield April 17th, sponsored by the Illinois Chamber and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). …. “A year ago, Gov. Walker rammed through a bill that stripped the rights of public service workers in Wisconsin, claiming it was necessary to create 250,000 jobs,” said Illinois AFSCME spokesman Anders Lindall. He cited data showing Wisconsin has since had among the nation’s worst job-creation records.
