Wisconsin kicks our butt
Yee gads! We already know that Wisconsin has superior angel tax credits than Minnesota (and by superior, I mean it actually HAS them) but this is getting ridiculous. It would be perfectly understandable if the Badger State wanted to sit on its laurels and count the Minnesota startups fleeing to Madison or Hudson. Instead, as Minnesota [...]
