Local 150 PAC promotes capital plan in two new TV ads

Posted in:

[Comments are now open on this post.]

* The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150’s “Fight Back” PAC is running two new TV ads

* Script…

Look up, Illinois, because the sky is literally falling. Illinois has thousands of structurally deficient bridges. Concrete falling. Steel cracking.

Now, even Lake Shore Drive had to be shut down for dangerous deterioration.

Look up! If you see damaged roads and bridges, post a pic and tag it with #lookup and go to Fightbackwithus.com to tell your state legislator to fix our roads and bridges.

Lives are at stake.

* And

* Script…

Anchor: Major crash on an Illinois highway.

Anchor: Thousands of structurally deficient bridges.

Anchor: Ranking 5th worst in the country

Anchor: Officials say the pavement near the overpass has caused several accidents in the past.

Anchor: A traffic headache on Lake Shore Drive.

Anchor: All northbound lanes had to be closed for structural repairs after a crew discovered a crack in a steel beam.

VO: How many more people have to die before we act? Go to Fightbackwithus.com to tell your state legislator to fix our roads and bridges.

  1. I so admire the 150’s. Man do they go after it. They don’t sit on the bench and wait to see what happens. Right or wrong they get out there and make a play. Narrative drivers.

  2. Powerful spots that should resonate with anyone who moves.

    Very smart call-to-action in the first one to get people involved and post pics from around the state. Helps build the case and could generate grassroots buzz.
