“I’m told there was an informal agreement that no municipality would poach from each other,” Franklin Mayor Steve Olson told the Milwaukee Business Journal. “I’m not sure that’s the case any more.”That's rich. Suburbs, like Franklin, exist because of poaching. Suburbs were happy to offer 'economic incentives' to attract formerly good paying jobs and companies away from the central city. Now that cities are seeing a resurgence and can compete, the suburbs are pretending this (economic development incentives) is some new occurrence. Perfectly fine when they do it ... but when it happens to them, not so much.
