In Wisconsin earlier this year, a labor union and the conservative interest group, Americans for Prosperity spent nearly $230,000 each on commercial ads to try to contour the public’s view on bargaining and budget cuts. These attempts would in time have a huge impact everywhere if they won. An interest group is meant to voice goals and wants to influence lawmakers’ decisions. This event goes to show how much effort is put into getting what you want and the Americans for Prosperity interest group wanted the public to see how bargaining and the budget cuts are impacting Wisconsin.
