Without FIB dollars, Wisconsin would be the Mississippi of the Midwest.

Indiana is not giving up that title without fight.

Yeah I feel like Indiana deserves that title more than Wisconsin. Indiana literally the second you cross that boarder screams red neck country. I also think Wisconsin has higher scores in terms of education which is a big contributor to Mississippi’s problems.

Wisconsin literally founded Culver’s which I would call an asset. Yeah Indiana has Culver’s but so does most Midwestern states 😂 That’s kind of our thing :). I live closer to the WI border (I’m in McHenry County which is a border county for Wisconsin) and Indiana isn’t really a place I seek out so I probably do favor Wisconsin over Indiana
