I never listen to him, but happened to be searching through radio stations this morning and heard a caller ask him about the provision in Walker's bill about the sale of power plants. He said he never heard anything about that. Well, here it is (ON PAGE 23)---obviously he never even read the bill before blow-bagging and organizing tea party rallies against it.

Bottom of Page 23:

SECTION 44. 16.896 of the statutes is created to read:
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).

it doesn't matter what Walker is actually doing, Bader will say it's the greatest thing in the world.
