It's BACK! 🚨 Wisconsin legislators are trying to sneak ROFR (Right of First Refusal) - a multi-billion dollar no-bid contract giveaway for big electric utilities - into a multi-subject bill (LRB-2777). Our energy rates are already the 2nd highest in the Midwest, don’t let them get to #1.

Tell Senator Jesse James to VOTE No on ROFR by calling him at 608- 266-7511.

Sure would like if Rep. Karen Hurd would issue a statement about upcoming ROFR legislation for the folks that elected her.

While I was at the Joint Finance Committee listening session on Wednesday, my staff met with representatives of the electric cooperatives that serve the people of the 69th District. They discussed some of the issues facing our state’s electric co-ops and shared their priorities for the legislative session.

Rep. Karen Hurd... the people who elected you sure would like for you to give a statement on your position here.

‼️ALERT ‼️ SHARE ‼️

UPDATE IMPORTANT!! Tommy Thompson is now making calls to strong arm this pig of a bill! One rep was contacted multiple times. NOW, it's not a "Farmland Preservation" bill, NOW it's in an "Energy Dominance" bill.

Reps are actively lying to constituents. They are saying ROFR is not in the bill. That is wrong. It is. The latest bill is a 50 page pig and ROFR is buried in the bill.

KEEP MAKING THOSE CALLS!! 608-267-9133

ORIGINAL POST:

While Brad Schimel was out killing himself to try and win this Supreme Court seat for conservatives, the Republican leadership was huddling with Utility Lobbyists (even on Election Day) to try and hatch a plan to pass the utility monopoly ROFR bill.

But it’s worse: now they are hiding it in a “farmland preservation” bill. Robin Vos intends to use a majority of Democrats and a MINORITY of Republicans to pass this bill by a voice vote (meaning you won’t know how anyone voted).

It is pure corruption. The ulility lobbyists are taking members on trips, promising campaign donations, threatening people. It is that bad.

Already WI pays the HIGHEST rates in the Midwest—and the utilities just got ANOTHER rate increase !

President Trump has already said ROFR bills will make it hard for him to implementme his plan to reduce energy costs.

And one last thing: the utilities are forcing us to subsidize their on-going wokism via their DEI policies.

This bill is absolutely unconstitutional—but the utilities want it because by the time the court cases wrap up, they’ll have already claimed the BILLIONS of dollars in contracts.

Our legislature is a confederacy of crooks.

Call Robin Vos RIGHT NOW and tell him that his job is NOT to help corrupt lobbyists and democrats screw us over.
