Wisconsin Business Community Calls on Governor

Nov. 18, 2005 - In an open letter to Gov. Jim Doyle, leaders of Wisconsin's business community urged the Gov. to sign several liability reform bills. The signers of the letter urged "[Gov. Doyle] to work with the Republican Legislature, and sign liability reform legislation to restore fairness to our legal system". The open letter ran as a full-page ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, business section and  in the Wisconsin State Journal in Madison as well.    The letter, presented by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce, is part of an advertising campaign to bolster support for  AB 778 -The Job Preservation Act; SB 58 -Product Liability Reform and AB 766- Medical Malpractice Caps.   As stated in the letter to Gov. Doyle, "In 2004, the US Chamber of Commerce ranked Wisconsin's legal climate as 10th best in the nation. By 2005, we had slipped to 17th, due to inaction." WMC has created several other print media pieces to further explain the importance of these and other bills. To view the letter, click below.   Letter to Gov. Doyle       www.wmc.org
