So Whaddaya Think?
Just a coincidence?

Quote:Wisconsin paid $4 million for tiny airport for Republican mega-donor’s golf course


Quote:While the rest of Wisconsin’s road infrastructure “crumbled,” state Republicans quietly approved $4 million in repairs to a tiny airport near a golf course owned by a Republican “mega-donor.”

According to the Associated Press, Sand Valley Golf Resort developer Michael Keiser donated $25,000 to the state’s  Republican Party earlier this year. Soon after, the Republican-controlled Joint Finance Committee approved the $4 million repairs to the golf resort’s diminutive airport.

Yeah...probably not.  Just a payoff.

These people don't buy politicians so much as they make an investment in them.

And they want their dividends.

Pretty impressive RoI right there, 160 times the investment.
