WMC blasts oil franchise fee with faux news ad

Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce is launching a new 30-second TV ad tomorrow targeting Gov. Jim Doyle's proposed oil franchise fee.

The spot will run on network TV in Eau Claire, Green Bay, LaCrosse, Rhinelander and Wausau.

In it, a "TV reporter" says Senate Dems just passed a gas tax that "starts out at five cents a gallon, but the sky is the limit." The reporter then asks a series of disgusted motorists their reactions.

The reporter says Assembly Republicans are fighting to stop the increase and then directs viewers to information that comes up on the screen with a number to call state senators.

Watch the ad here.
