    AAF D10 Webinar - Pushing Back on Ad Legislation The AAF D10 Webinar discussed strategies to oppose ad tax legislation, using Nebraska's experience as a case study. Robert Richardson and Cassi Warren detailed how they formed a coalition with the Nebraska Broadcasters and Press Associations, ANA, and the National Federation of Independent Businesses to oppose a 7.5% ad tax.
