Green Bay’s Republican congressman is now pushing for statewide Packer broadcasts.
Congressman Mike Gallagher yesterday signed-on to the Go Pack Go Act. It’s a plan that’s been floating around for years that would guarantee everyone in Wisconsin could see the Packers games on TV. Currently, Packer fans near the UP, as well as some folks in northwestern Wisconsin don’t get Packer games. They get the TV out of Michigan or Minnesota, and get either Lions of Vikings games. Gallagher said no one in Wisconsin should be ‘subjected to the torture of watching the Vikings or the Lions play over the Packers.’ Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin has been pushing the same Go Pack Go plan for years, but has yet to get it over the goal line.
