As a 35-year veteran of Wisconsin’s import-export economy told a group of entrepreneurs meeting this month in Milwaukee, the numbers still dictate that small and mid-sized companies should think seriously about markets beyond American borders.
In Wisconsin, that national lens has turned what might otherwise be a lower-profile judicial election into an ideological battlefield.
