Green shills for corporations at victims' expense

Liability law deform -- to prevent victims from having a chance to be compensated for damages done to them by defective products -- is at the top of the Republican agenda. Corporate interests are pushing hard.

It's certainly well choreographed.

The US Chamber of Commerce came to Wisconsin today to complain about Wisconsin's laws, and the WMC was right there to call for passage of the same bills Gov. Jim Doyle vetoed earlier. Same old technique; keep passing bills you know won't be signed into law, and try to use them to score political points.

That will only work if no one tells the other side of the story, that this isn't about business climate, but about innocent victims hurt by unsafe or defensive products like lead paint, which can cause lifelong brain damage. WMC has said it thinks the companies who made the lead paint have no responsibility.

The ironically named Wisconsin Institute for Civil Justice chimes in.
And Mark Green is right there with his own news release, echoing the Chamber and WMC. It's nice to see the corporate interests and their candidate working so closely. At least the voters will know who's who come November.
