Evers Promises PFAS Veto, Demands Lawmakers Release PFAS Money Anyway

Wisconsin’s governor is offering a compromise on PFAS pollution that would give him $125 million and allow him to ignore the plan Republican lawmakers say would protect landowners across the state from fines, fees and lawsuits. Gov. Tony Evers promised to veto the latest plan to deal with PFAS chemicals, while also demanding that Republicans release the $125 million included in the doomed legislation. The Republican-controlled legislature last week approved a plan, Senate Bill 312, which would use that $125 million to start a grant program to help local communities test their water for PFAS, and help those communities clean their water if it's found.
