Oppose SB 49: Limiting Local Communities’ Ability to Address Climate Change
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose SB 49, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.
Climate change is one of the most pressing problems facing the planet. Local governments in Wisconsin have been on the forefront of developing plans to make sure that the energy produced in their communities is safe, locally available when possible, and pollution-free. SB 49 would restrict local communities' ability to determine what fuel sources are used to meet their needs by unnecessarily mandating that they can't exclude natural gas.
Support SB 222: Improving Flood Resilience
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to support SB 222, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.
Wisconsin communities need more resources to help prepare for and reduce the serious risks associated with increased flooding. SB 222 would create a flood resilience grant program to help local governments assess flood risks and implement flood resilience projects.
Oppose AB 141: Restricting the Transition to Clean, Cost-Efficient Appliances
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 141, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.
To make our air cleaner to breathe and help save Wisconsinites money on their utility bills, we need to support the transition to cleaner, more cost-efficient electric appliances. AB 141 would work against this transition by prohibiting state agencies and local communities from phasing out the use of dirty, gas-powered appliances.
Oppose AB 142: Restricting the Transition to Clean Transportation
Wisconsin Conservation Voters urges you to oppose AB 142, which is before the Senate on Wednesday.
To make our air cleaner to breathe and help combat climate change, we need to quickly transition to clean transportation. AB 142 would work against this transition by prohibiting state agencies and local communities from phasing out the use of dirty, gas-powered vehicles.
