On local news here tonight in Wisconsin. Rayan and Pence meet with "invited businesses".

So does that mean those who were not invited may as well fold up shop? Or is this a way to intimidate businesses into compliance with right wingers?

What makes you qualified to be "invited"?
This is elitist behavior. But it's not new in Wisconsin, our cowardly Governor will not go out among the unwashed and unvetted either. He holds no meetings ever in which an unintended, unplanned or spontaneous event may occur. He has NEVER since taking office met with undocumented republicans. If you are not Officially vetted you don't get anywhere near him. He goes to his office via a tunnel from a parking ramp here in Madison. You will never see him walking around on a city street where you might bump into him.

Cowards they are, one and all.

this is just Pay Back for their Contributions . There was not any possibility of Walker,Ryan,Pence,and Johnson meeting with you Regular Folks back in Wisconsin. Remember,Walker wants a Carve Out for the ACA in Wisconsin. The bought and paid for Koch politicians turned that state into another Kansas. The State is total ass broke.
