Well this sucks........or am I wrong??

The Wisconsin Supreme Court's conservative majority on Thursday sided with a former member of the state Public Service Commission who did not want to testify in court about his personal relationships with utility companies. The companies were building a new power line that he had voted to approve.

Opponents argued the evidence showed that former PSC Commissioner Mike Huebsch had an appearance of bias when he voted to approve a $492 million project in 2019. They say because of that the permit should be invalidated. Huebsch is a former Republican speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly and past member of former Gov. Scott Walker's Cabinet.
