Petroleum Institute Ad Blasts Oil Tax

A radio ad from the American Petroleum Institute says the oil tax Doyle proposed in the budget is "going to cost us all."

The spot features a man and a woman discussing news stories, studies and a poll on the proposal. The spot cites one story that says no other state has enacted "such a restrictive approach."

"So the Madison crowd is experimenting with Wisconsin’s energy future. That can't be right," the woman says.

American Petroleum Institute Executive Director Erin Roth said the spot began Aug. 20 and runs through this weekend. He said the spot is running in Eau Claire, Kenosha, La Crosse, Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, Rhinelander and Wausau.

Listen to the ad here.

The institute has also posted a series of "MediAdvocacy" spots on YouTube.
