Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce

We have also got some really, really cool facts, figures, and information about your Milwaukee Brewers, possibly headed to the World Series.

We'll also chat with Scott Manley of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

Tony Evers told a bit of a whopper in the, uh, weekly radio address that he gave, that he released this morning about his impact on manufacturing, even though the guy has made it his personal mission to try to eliminate the manufacturer's tax credit.

We are going to get to all of that when The Dan O'Donnell Show returns after the news.

So go Crew.

Let's close out the Dodgers in game four tonight, and let's take some time to relax and celebrate and get that final journey to the top of the mountain started.

Coming up next, we will chat with Scott Manley of Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

Governor Evers with a blatant misstatement, shall we say, half-truth, I, I guess I would say, and a, a blatant lie about a half-truth about the state of manufacturing in Wisconsin, a blatant lie about what he has done for manufacturers in this state.

Oh, God, heaven forbid.

But, uh, speaking of Wisconsin Manufacturings and Commerce, uh, they have their 11th annual contest going on right now, which is down to their final eight.

Uh, still alive are Komatsu's Electric Rope Shovel, which is just a cool name, Aaron's Gravity Mower, uh, Cardinal Privacy Glass, uh, Sturugi's Melt Away Candy Bars, a Fondulac, a vertical turning center, and a Muskego Wall Protection.

Jaco- and Jacobi Custom Pool Cues are, and Vortex Fire Controlled Units, uh, from Barneveld all in the final eight of the coolest things made in Wisconsin.

I love it.

Every year the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce works to answer that question, and you, you and me, Jessica, people listening, we all have a role in this.

The goal is to highlight the state's manufacturing industry.

At Jolly Good, we believe in quality, but we also believe in value.

We'll announce the top eight on October 7th, that Wednesday, and then it goes from then on, we go from eight to four, and then we announce the winner at, um, our Business Day event in Madison, where actually the top four, we typically bring out all their products onto the floor at, um, the Monona Terrace in Madison.

So if you wanna join us on Business Day in Madison, you can go to wmc.org, find it there, and you can see all these products in person.

Jacob Fisher joining us from Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.

Good stuff, Jacob.

Will is the managing partner at Accurate Metals, a second-generation family business specializing in steel plate processing for the mining, defense, maritime, agriculture, energy, and medical sectors.

But that's not enough, so he is also serving as a fellow at the Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, with a focus on industrial policy.

And, 'cause we're not done yet, he's worked closely with the MIT Initiative for New Manufacturing to expand trade education across the Midwest.

Will, welcome.

And then as far as when it was in the legislature, the lobbies who registered in support were the Wisconsin property taxpayers.

Americans for Prosperity, the Wisconsin Realtors Association, and Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.

And the lobbies registered against were the Wisconsin Education Association Council, which is the state's largest teachers union, as well as the League of Women Voters.

That's pretty consequential.
