Doh! Wisconsin state website features Minneapolis skyline

Wisconsin claims many beautiful cities as its own, and in what may be considered a somewhat brazen move, the state is adding Minneapolis to the list.
Yes, Minneapolis ... in Minnesota.
The Web site, at cfis.wi.gov, is being developed by a Connecticut firm for $1 million. | Visit Wisconsin's new site for campaign finance data, and there is Minneapolis' skyline next to the Capitol in Madison, which, last we checked, actually is in Wisconsin. "Minneapolis and Madison have always been close; now they are even closer," Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak said.

I'll do it for half that, and throw in the pictures of Baltimore for free.
"Maybe in Connecticut they think Minneapolis is in Wisconsin," Minneapolis City Council Member Cam Gordon said. "We better do a better job of informing the world we're in Minnesota."
Wisconsin officials will ask that the photo be changed.
