SPRINGFIELD -- Wisconsin is launching a new campaign to bring businesses to the state by targeting ones in Illinois. Governor Scott Walker (R-WI) has gone back and forth trying to get Illinois companies to move north.

His latest attempt is through a $500,000 ad campaign. "In Wisconsin" features billboards and commercials designed to show why business life is better north of the border. 

Business leaders in Illinois say it will not be a total success though. While some companies in our northernmost counties may move, they say the majority will find it difficult to pick up and move.
