From 2010-2014, median household income has actually gone up 7.4 percent.





Same Day from the US Census Bureau:

MADISON (AP) -- New data from the U.S. Census Bureau shows the median household income fell in two-thirds of Wisconsin counties between 2009 and 2014.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports the census bureau released data Thursday that shows incomes fell by at least 10 percent in 10 counties. Vilas County saw the steepest decline at 13.3 percent.

Milwaukee County saw a 10.3 percent drop to $43.385. Dane County saw a 5.2 percent drop to $62,303. Incomes rose in two counties, Adams and Florence, and held relatively steady in 23 counties.

No wonder he's so hell-bent on destroying education!

2. All of whom are residents of Walkersha County.

3. I'm guessing he might be mathematically correct.

The increases for the few in "Walkersha" (hehe) could have been enough to offset the losses of the rest of us and raise the median point.
It is amazing that the WEDC hemorrhages unaccountable money like it does and yet it only lands in a very few pockets.

Another election? Wisconsin and Kansas...is it the water?
