Pritzker Helps the Nukes (!!)

We've watched Illinois developments since Pritzker (D) became Gov.  Not hard to see some of his work:  just buy gasoline down there.  The tax is sky-high.  It's also possible to pay a TEN percent sales tax on a meal from Mickey D.

Then, out of the blue, comes a common-sense item.

Illinois is poised to pass a bill providing nearly $700 million in subsidies over five years to save unprofitable nuclear plants that are slated to shut down.

The state Legislature is slated to close the deal on Monday, as Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker, state legislators of both parties, environmental groups, and labor unions are motivated to preserve thousands of jobs associated with the plants and to maintain Illinois’s status as the largest producer of nuclear power — a central element of the state’s clean energy ambitions....

Think the Wisconsin Pubbies have the gonads to shove a similar bill under Evers' nose?  Think Wisconsin Energy has the cojones to ask for it?

Hmmmmm.
