racer254 Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 Both sides on the issue. MADISON (WKOW) — Nearly 20 months after the 2020 election, the debate over whether clerks in Wisconsin should be allowed to receive private money hovers over the 2022 campaign. Republican lawmakers are seeking to change the state constitution to ban such grants in the future. The national and state parties advertise events showing a documentary on the use of 'Zuckerbucks' in 2020. Of particular interest to conservatives is the $10 million Wisconsin received from the Center for Tech and Civic Life (CTCL), which in 2020 was largely funded by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan. More than 85% of the (CTCL) money went to the state's five biggest cities: Milwaukee - $3.4 million Racine - $1.69 million Green Bay - $1.6 million Madison - $1.27 million Kenosha - $862,779 They argue that skewed distribution drove more turnout in places that traditionally vote for Democrats. "I think the fact that, any time that you have private money put into select communities, it can change the outcome," Rep. Janel Brandtjen (R-Menomonee Falls) said. https://www.wkow.com/news/the-money-needed-to-come-from-somewhere-how-madison-spent-its-zuckerbucks/article_0b0e038e-f292-11ec-b6de-d3bc1e4b38a7.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
