AFP-WI Statement on ‘Right of First Refusal’ Passing Assembly
Madison, WI — Today, the Wisconsin State Assembly passed AB 470, “Right of First Refusal” legislation eliminating competition in the utility sector and paving the way for higher rate hikes for Wisconsinites.
Americans for Prosperity-Wisconsin (AFP-WI) State Director Megan Novak made the following statement:
“Far too many Wisconsinites are already grappling with the consequences of rising energy costs, but today’s vote robbed ratepayers of much needed relief. Our legislators tilted the field in favor of crony capitalism and against the best interest of Wisconsinites.”
