Wisconsin Governor's plan for a $209 million federal aid program
The La Follette bill would have Wisconsin join with the United States to receive a $100 million federal grant for PWA projects, with Wisconsin matching $109 million. A state corporation would issue small notes to circulate as currency, funded by tax revenues and subordinate units, and backed by projected increases in taxable earnings. Critics warn of long term burdens if earnings do not rise, while supporters argue the plan could yield years of prosperity if liquidity and clearing arrangements keep notes circulating.
