Renewables

The committee should be getting underway any minute. The Dems are handing out a proposal on renewable energy. See it here.

Sen. Jauch, who has worked on the issue, said it's a serious offer, pointing out that the Dems have lowered their proposal to increase the tipping fee, from the $10 per ton approved in the Senate budget to $8 per ton. The current rate is $3 per ton. Jauch said it will result in $43.5 million less revenue than the Senate proposal.

In addition, the proposal includes a reduction in the tranfer from the recycling fund, lowering it to $13 million from the Senate position of $33 million.
