I've heard a number of such ads lately on WBZ.  I live in N.H. so I'm not 
familiar with a lot of the politics in Mass., but a month or so ago there 
was some sort of political convention & there seemed to be a lot of ads 
from labor unions trying to influence delegates (at least that's what it 
sounded like).  Your union dues at work.

One would think that the #1 station in Boston would be a little more 
selective when it came to such ads...
