Madison – Representative Shae Sortwell (R-Gibson) released the following statement today relating to the passage of Assembly Bill 472 on the Assembly floor:

“With a wide bipartisan vote of 86-11 on AB 472 in the State Assembly, Wisconsin continues to show that it is open for business for nuclear energy expansion. I am urging the Senate to pass this legislation so Wisconsin can start building for our energy future as we face energy deficits and rising utility bills.”
