What really is shameful about the whole 'Union busting' Budget Repair Bill... is that (apart from 'union busting' which has nothing to do with a budget) why is there a No-bid contract for sale of public property... why is that included in a Budget Repair Bill... if we are so much concerned about money, let there be a proper-open public auction... if not, stop the charade of being fiscally responsible... ref... http://legis.wisconsin.gov/2011/data/JR1SB-11.pdf pg. 24. "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)."
