Stung WMC To "Reposition"

From Sunday's Wisconsin State Journal:

WMC to consider toning down its political ads

Stung by criticism over its political activities, the state's largest business lobby is rethinking the tenor of its election-season advertising and how it sells itself to the public...

...The board plans to discuss the tone and tenor of WMC-sponsored ads leading into the fall legislative races at its meeting this month, several directors said.

In the article, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce (WMC) spokespersons deny internal strife and refuse to acknowledge that there is a movement to reform the organization from some members. We know better.

We do not expect WMC to embrace a progressive political platform or to become pro-labor. We do expect WMC to eventually join the family of Wisconsinites who are working to fix health care systems, provide fair taxation and to support educational and employment training programs.
