ADISON (WKOW) -- If jobs are a key to the race for governor, then the growing debate over Wisconsin's $25 million venture capital fund could prove pivotal in deciding a winner.
Gov. Scott Walker (R-Wisconsin) is touting his success establishing that fund, but challenger Mary Burke (D) says it is too small and exclusive.
FluGen Inc. is one of several companies keeping a close eye on what happens with the fund. FluGen is developing what it hopes will be a world-changing vaccine to protect people against every kind of flu. It relies on investors for its very survival, but the state won't be making an investment in FluGen at this point, solely because it is a biotech firm.
