MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — Governor Tony Evers is urging President Trump not to terminate energy project funding.
The Democratic governor sent a letter amid reports the Trump Administration plans to terminate over 600 awards, including $1.5 billion that’s already been approved for Wisconsin projects with energy related goals and objectives. In the letter, Evers says cutting the funding at a time of record-high energy demand would be reckless and ill-advised.
The Evers Administration says Wisconsinites will face a $300 annual increase on household energy bills due to the Trump Administration by 2035.
