..it right out in the open... they are not even trying to hide it... yet the Tea Baggers in Wis. can't see.... (face-palm)

Here's the language from the bill. Note that it exempts the sales or operating contracts from any consideration whether the sales will be in the public interest or even economically justified.

--------------------------------

"16.896 Sale or contractual operation of state−owned heating, cooling, and power plants. (1) Notwithstanding ss. 13.48 (14) (am) and 16.705 (1), the department may sell any state−owned heating, cooling, and power plant or may contract with a private entity for the operation of any such plant, with or without solicitation of bids, for any amount that the department determines to be in the best interest of the state. Notwithstanding ss. 196.49 and 196.80, no approval or certification of the public service commission is necessary for a public utility to purchase, or contract for the operation of, such a plant, and any such purchase is considered to be in the public interest and to comply with the criteria for certification of a project under s. 196.49 (3) (b)."

6. Our grandfolks would roll over in their graves, seeing public utilities sold off

Our ancestors sacrificed to provide us with public utilities, public parks, public protections that are being sold off for pennies on the dollar...for what are necessities, thus setting up monopolies.
