Hassett Dismissed, Burke Is Next
DNR Secretary Scott Hassett just wrapped up his testimony, and Commerce Secretary Mary Burke is now on the hot seat.
Before Hassett left, Dem Sen. Bob Jauch answered GOP criticism of garbage tipping fee increases, saying the constant stream of garbage trucks that come into his district from Minnesota have his constituents outraged.
Jauch said 653,000 tons of Minnesota trash gets dumped in his district yearly. "Wisconsin really incentivizes Minnesotato dump their garbage in our state," Jauch said of the low tipping fees. "My constituents are incensed the state of Wisconsin wont' raise its tipping fee."
