WMC Cheerleaders
Examining its own legislative scorecard is one way to see the depth of WMC's influence in the state legislature. The 2005-06 state legislature had 76 members (or 57.5%) score 80 percent or higher on the WMC scorecard. This includes 19 legislators who never veered from the WMC pro-corporate agenda, scoring 100 percent.
In order to score so high, legislative members had to support pro-corporate legislation such as:
2005 SB 58
Makes it significantly more difficult for individuals to claim any damages against a seller, distributor or manufacturer for defective products.
2005 AB 58 & 2005 AJR 77, SSA 1
Removes local control of municipalities and would require cuts to critical community services like police, firefighters, snow removal, road maintenance and garbage pick-up by instituting an arbitrary property tax freeze.
2005 SB 425
Eliminates the authority of the Attorney General to protect private citizens from powerful special interests or individuals causing public nuisances.
2007 SB 3: Excludes income from Wisconsin business from being taxes (Cost to Wisconsin taxpayers: $106 - $159 million in 2007).
Legislators also scored high for opposing bills that would introduce higher standards for coporate accountability such as:
2007 AB 204: Prohibits advertising for prescription drugs.
2007 AB 157: Sets a statewide greenhouse gas emission limit.
2007 SB 210: Closing the "Las Vegas Loophole," which allows corporations to avoid paying Wisconsin taxes.
2007 SB 367: Requiring corporations to submit annual financial statements to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue and pay their fair share in income taxes.
