Wisconsin utilities are making a renewed push on legislation to give them first shot at building new infrastructure, this time armed with a report suggesting ratepayers would save $1 billion over the next 40 years via the plan.
Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu told WisPolitics last week he wants the proposal to clear the Legislature by this spring after it bogged down in his house this session amid opposition from conservatives. LeMahieu also said he’s willing to use Dem votes to get the bill through the Senate with the 18-15 majority Republicans will have come January after having 22 members this session. He argued failing to pass the bill could cost Wisconsin ratepayers in the long run.
