Announcing WISTAX Watch
[We have received the following from One Wisconsin Now and are pleased to publish it on their behalf.]
Gotta quiz for you...Which supposedly "independent" and "unbiased" organization in Wisconsin fits the following?
Its president and leading voice is a former Republican administration official and local Republican Party executive committee member.
Members of its board of directors since 1994 have donated nearly $1.3 million to Republicans and conservative political candidates.
Fifteen of these same 33 board members have served on the board of the state's most influential pro-corporate outfit, Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce.
Its tax research is constantly used by conservatives and Republicans to push for lower taxes for the rich and corporations and less public investment.
So which group is it? You guessed it...the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance.
There's more. One Wisconsin Now has uncovered, evaluated and cataloged this information at our newest watchdog website: WISTAX Watch.
Check out the new WISTAX Watch site at http://www.wistaxwatch.org/.
Modeled after One Wisconsin Now's successful WMCWatch.org site, the goal of WISTAXWatch.org is to provide you, the media and elected officials with information about the conservative, pro-corporate agenda of the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, as well as debunk its allegedly unbiased research.
Most importantly, WISTAX Watch wants to expand the debate on budgeting and taxation issues in Wisconsin and ensure the progressive values you and I share are reflected fully in the public policy debate.
When it comes to taxation, budgeting and public investment, you will almost exclusively arrive at the conservative argument from WISTAX research.
And while you and I may laugh when WISTAX asserts that the WMC corporate masters that have saturated its board for the last 20 years are doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, One Wisconsin Now takes both the research and the conclusions we have accumulated at WISTAX Watch deadly serious.
WISTAX research and talking points drive much of the state tax debate and at WISTAX Watch, we not only exhaustively show you the conservatism of its arguments, but also we give you the ability to be a WISTAX Watcher yourself.
The site has a full array of social networking tools, information and a guide to analyzing WISTAX reports for conservative bias.

Thanks for your liberal analysis.
You're so welcome, Eric. I wish I could take credit for the piece you've commented on, but it stated clearly right at the beginning it is a press release we received from One Wisconsin Now. Apparently you missed that part. If you disagree with their commentary, you might want to direct your comments to them. You would have more credibility, though, if you would point out the ways in which you believe they're wrong, instead of taking one liner potshots that do nothing in the grand scheme of things. Or is that your preferred style?
