Did you say taxes? If you did, it wouldn't be surprising, considering all the media attention given to claims of Wisconsin's bad tax and business climate.

In fact, taxes are way, way down the list in a survey of Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce members. It's number 7 on the list, with only about 6% of those surveyed saying it's their biggest issue. But 35% of them think taxes is the biggest issue facing the state as a whole.
