Big Bucks vs Burner
By JOEL CONNELLY

The nation’s biggest business lobbies are putting big bucks into a TV campaign to re-elect GOP Rep. Dave Reichert and fend off his formidable Democratic challenger, former Microsoft manager Darcy Burner.
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce goes up Monday with a $156,000 TV buy — anticipate ads that will smear Burner as a tax raiser — on top of a previous $40,000 radio campaign against the Democratic challenger.
Next week, the National Federation of Independent Business begins a $219,000 television buy to boost Reichert.
