Hi John,

I have some frustrating news. Today, despite months of feedback from Wisconsin Conservation Voters like you and impacted community members across the state, Senator Wimberger, Senator Cowles, and Senator Tomcyzk voted the PFAS community grants bill out of committee with a dangerous poison pill. 

Take action: urge your legislators to oppose SB 312.

We fought hard to get this poison pill removed, but Republicans on the Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy ended up siding with corporate polluters and their allies. The bill authors had three months to find a better solution by working with impacted communities who have been dealing with this issue for years. Instead, with barely 24 hours notice, they released and advanced a new version that was worse.

SB 312 would limit the Department of Natural Resource’s ability to test for PFAS, and take enforcement action against those responsible for contamination. This would degrade Wisconsin’s spills law, a tool that has protected Wisconsinites from pollution for decades. 

Please write to your legislators and urge them to oppose SB 312. We must work toward a PFAS solution that puts impacted people before corporate polluters and their allies. 

Thank you for taking action and staying in this fight. While today’s vote is a setback, we’ll be in touch about our path forward. 

Thanks for being a conservation voter,

Peter Burress
