Wow I will try to not ramble here.
First I want to say that I enjoy the passion that everyone throwing into their comments about Milwaukee. Whether good or bad it shows you all care to some degree.
Secondly, a CEO's job is to maintain profitability based on the model of the company. Most companies are not altruistic or community minded, lets face it its a tough economy right now and their number one job is to put their company in best case scenarios. If they feel that Milwaukee doesn't currently have the right formula for their company, thats just how they see it. Now whats missing is that these companies have the power to influence better scenarios by working with local and state government as far as skilled labor, tax breaks, nurturing community support, and other things. So my opinion is not to criticize the CEO's but to recognize their lack of vision and community focus, and look elsewhere for economic leadership.
We are in a time where great innovators are needed, I myself have been trying, I helped build a few companies that fizzled, but i don't plan on giving up. I've known so many who have left Milwaukee or wanted to because of what they see is a lack of innovation. I see it as a sea of opportunity, while the bigger cities have a crowded wadding pool. I want to do great things here where great things are happening and theres room for more.
In the end I love Milwaukee, but not as much as I love the will some people have to defend it.
