THE WAR ON WMCBy Charlie SykesA followup to the posting below.... Savvy listener emails:
Sore Loser Lefty of the Day - John Wiley. First: none of these attacks on WMC is coincidence. This attack, Louis Butler's, and all the other "WMC is the problem" voices out there are being orchestrated by Jim Doyle, who is still wanting to make WMC pay for not supporting him last election. He can't tube their legislative agenda because it intersects with other groups' (like ours and ironically the University's in many spots) and because it is indeed good for Wisconsin's economy and even he knows it. So instead, he's trying to make the Board go squishy, can effective staff, and neuter the group's influence. He's not kidding around. Second, businesses better wake up and pump big money and support to WMC or he just might be successful. Businesses need to send the message that this sort of effective advocacy is EXACTLY why they are members of WMC. This isn't some social club that you join to put a "WMC member" sticker in your shop window. This is an organization you join to fight aggressively for your rights as a business person, to improve our competitiveness and wealth in the real world (not the tax subsidized fantasy land that the John Wiley's of the world live in), and to be the one voice of the folks pulling the cart standing up against the many voices of the folks riding in the cart. This is a real battle. Jim Doyle is dead serious. Businesses better get dead serious too and support WMC stronger than ever or they are going to be in more danger than they can even imagine right now. The stakes are enormous
