WMC Ads Attack Senate Dems
In new radio ads airing today, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce blasts Democratic budget proposals, and congratulates Assembly Republicans for blocking tax increases.
The ads will air for the next four weeks in Milwaukee, Green Bay, Kenosha, La Crosse and Wausau. The ads are paid for by WMC's Issues Mobilization Council.
"Hold on, this just in," says one of the narrators, rustling papers in faux newscaster style. "Senate Democrats want to bring back all the tax hikes, including a gross receipts tax that will drive up gas prices."
"I thought the Assembly got rid of that when they voted down the $18 billion tax increase passed in the Senate?" asks the other narrator.
"They did. But some Senators want to keep the tax hikes in the state budget, including the gross receipts tax on oil companies. They're negotiating it at the State Capitol right now," she responds.
The ad gives the phone number to the legislative hotline and urges listeners to contact their legislators.

A second ad specific to the La Crosse market lauds Assembly Speaker Mike Huebsch, R-West Salem, for "leading the fight to stop the largest tax increase in state history."
