MADISON, WI (WTAQ-WRN) — Republican lawmakers fire a member of the state Public Service Commission.
State Senate Republicans on Tuesday fired commissioner Tyler Huebner, who Democrat Brad Pfaff called highly qualified.
“What matters is the political party and who appointed you. That’s unfortunate,” said Pfaff.
Republican Julian Bradley noted the Senate has approved hundreds of Governor Tony Evers appointees.
“If this were purely political I suspect those numbers would be significantly lower,” said Bradley.
Evers, who appointed Huebner in 2020, quickly named PSC administrator Kristy Nieta to the commission.
Evers called Huebner’s firing baseless.
