Breaking ranks on TABOR
While Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, which calls itself the state Chamber of Commerce when running commercials, continues to tout Bride of TABOR, the Madison Chamber has gone its own way.
In a release today, the Greater Madison Chamber says:
“While limiting or reducing taxes is a laudable goal, it should not be enacted in such a way that jeopardizes the heart of what makes Wisconsin a great place to do business,” said GMCC President Jennifer Alexander.
“The Wisconsin Taxpayer Protection Amendment removes the opportunity for municipalities to make discretionary investments in economic development projects that contribute to economic growth and vitality and quality of life of the state and its regions. The state constitution is not a place to implement permanent limitations that are sure to have such major long term consequences...
GMCC believes that WTPA could negatively impact Wisconsin’s excellent K-12 and post-secondary education systems, which are among the best in the country.

Clearly the Madison Chamber is a bunch of lefties in suits...after all, it's not like Madison has ever been ranked as the best place in America to do business, is it?
Sarcasm never comes through well on the Internet. Perhaps I should tone it down on my own blog.
