Posted at 3:17 PM on April 17, 2009 by Tom Scheck

The Minnesota Chamber of Commerce started running a radio ad that targets DFL Rep. Tim Walz over the Employee Free Choice Act. The U.S. Chamber and local chambers have been ramped up their opposition to the union backed bill before last year's election. It appears that they are now increasing the lobbying again. You can listen to the ad (which ran during the governor's radio show) here:
