I am curious what the governors plan is to help the Menominee Nation, our states only indigenous tribe, pull itself out of destitute poverty and unemployment (caused in part by previous disastrous governmental imposition of policy), now that hes rejected their bid for self sufficiency. Moving Wisconsin Forward must be a slogan that works for everyone in this state. The social ills in Menominee County are an under-reported story. So whats the plan for the Menominee people? Among the State’s 72 counties, Menominee County is unquestionably the one county with the greatest and most immediate need. According to the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and Public Health – Public Health Institute, in 2010 Menominee County ranked last in the overall quality of health. It had the highest mortality rate (11,904, adj. per 100,000), highest rate of smoking during pregnancy (44%), highest obesity rate (38.0%), highest teen birth rate (103.8, adj. per 1,000), highest unemployment rate (10%), highest number of children living in poverty (51%), highest violent crime rate (958, adj. per 100,000), and the highest number of single parent households (26%).
