Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker spoke to DuraTech employees, Tuesday, January 25 as part of his brown bag guide to government program.

Walker toured the North Side plant, touting Monday’s vote to provide tax breaks on health savings accounts and an upcoming vote on tort reform.

Gov. Scott Walker, center, talks to Sandra Culbert and DuraTech Industries President Peter Johnson as he tours the plant in La Crosse, WIHe called his success thus far a “shot of optimism.”

“We are trying to do things. We are doing things to make it easier for private employers to put people to work,” Walker said, such as making sure every state agency is focused on commerce.

The HSA bill was Walker’s first since taking office three weeks ago. The governor says it will create jobs, but the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates the cut will also add $49 million to the state’s $3 billion budget deficit.

Super Bowl jokes aside, Walker continued to use Illinois as a foil to highlight his own efforts to encourage businesses to reinvest. While Illinois is raising corporate and individual income taxes to fix its budget shortfall, Wisconsin is getting out of the way of business, he said.

“What’s been failing us is not our people or places,” Walker said. “What’s been failing us until now is our expanse of government.”
