Stop Water Privatization in Wisconsin

From the Overpass Light Brigade

Update in the fight to stop the privatization of Wisconsin’s water!

The legislative calendar for Tuesday, Feb 9th has been circulated via ballot to legislative leaders on the Senate Organization Committee and AB 554 the “Water Takeover Bill” is NOT on the calendar that is being voted on. Nor is SB 432, the companion bill.

This means that the next most likely target date would be February 16th, but it also means our pressure is working, but we cannot stop until this bill is voted down for good. Keep those calls coming and keep up the great advocacy, Wisconsin.
