MADISON – Philip Prange, President and CEO of the Wisconsin Business Council, issued this statement on Tuesday following the introduction of a new version of the Clean Energy Jobs Act:

“Today’s revised bill is a positive step towards passing legislation that puts Wisconsin in a better position to capitalize on the potential for new, green jobs while growing our state economy.

“While our organization still needs to review the full text of the legislation to determine its merits, we are cautiously optimistic that this new version of the bill addresses concerns over the cost of implementation for citizens and businesses alike.

“We’re pleased to see legislators continuing to work on a bill that has the potential to benefit all of Wisconsin.”
