The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has reported that State Representative Mark Pocan requested assurances from the State Department of Revenue that “businesses do not deduct political contributions to groups that run third-party independent campaign ads…”
Pocan said the state’s largest business group, Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, which ran some of those independent Supreme Court election ads, has solicited contributions from businesses to pay for the TV ads and other efforts to decide elections
I am sure Representative Pocan wanted to Do The Right Thing to make sure the ads that ran against Judge Mike Gableman were not funded by illegally deducted contributions. Ya Right.
WMC spokesman Jim Pugh said all its member businesses are told any contributions they make for political ads run by its political arm, WMC Issues Mobililization Council Inc., ads are not tax-deductible.
