Green's brain drain trip

Isn't it just a little bit funny that Congressman Mark Green goes on and on about trying to keep young people here in Wisconsin after they graduate when he left the state right after graduation himself? From the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel today:

Now, in 1987, Green had completed law school and, since he had not yet joined a law firm, decided it was time to make the trip. He considered the Peace Corps, but it wanted to steer him to New Guinea, and Mark's heart was set on Africa.

"I just had a taste in the blood," Green said. "We discussed a plan to live overseas. I think Sue supported Brussels, Paris, London. I don't think she supported a small village in West Kenya."

I don't see any mention of taxes driving him to move though.
