Ad campaign hits Emmer on tips
The Alliance for a Better Minnesota released its second ad of the campaign. This time, the group is criticizing Republican Tom Emmer for his comments on the tip credit, minimum wage and restaurant workers. You can view the ad here.
ABM says they'll spend $300,000 on the ad campaign for the week.
It appears that the Alliance for a Better Minnesota and MN Forward are engaged in an arms race in this year's governor's race. The Alliance for a Better Minnesota is funded by unions, wealthy DFL donors and the Democratic Governor's Association. MN Forward is funded by Minnesota businesses.
Both groups are expected to spend as much as $10 million each on this year's election.
