The heavy youth turn-out and excitement during the Wisconsin presidential primary in Rock County and across Wisconsin has gotten somebody's underwear all bunched up.
So the only political organization in Rock County regularly defended by the local press with promotional articles and supporting editorials, and often inadequately described as only a pro-business group, yet with common links, goals and membership to the hardcore partisan WMC is looking to recruit young professionals for, get this........volunteer work.
Friday's Janesville Gazette posted the article on page 3 complete with quotes, schedule and contact numbers. The story was also summarized at the top of their sidebar "Gazette At A Glance" on the front page.
JG Excerpt:In light of recent articles perpetrated by the Janesville Gazette attacking the public networking of volunteers, open endorsements and encouragement for citizens to run for local government, this should be a double-alarm to all who complained earlier.
The challenge for not only Janesville but all communities is to figure out how to motivate young professionals and skilled trades people to step up and get involved in volunteer work in the community,” he said.
It should also be noted that when labor or community organizations have meet-ups or weekly schedules posted in the Gazette, they are often very lucky to have just one or two sentences pasted in the local "Briefs."
Note: Above link to Gazette "recruitment" article has turned cold a few hours after this posting.
Read more backlash against political organizations masquerading as pro-business and economic development groups.
Zweifel Excerpt:
The state spends millions recruiting out-of-state corporations to relocate here, only to run up against WMC ads that complain about how badly Wisconsin treats business.
