Koch Bros say 'jump', Scotti asks 'How high'?" "My predecessor (Democrat Jim Doyle) and the Legislature poured a lot of money into subsidizing certain industries related to clean energy and there's gotta be a balance there, too," Walker said.

This month, the city posted a request for bids on a spectrum of riot gear: 2,000 sets of riot-control suits and 26-inch batons, three miles of steel bike-rack-style barriers, 25 sets of tactical armor, 300 patrol bicycles and 310 sets of bicycle riot control gear, among other equipment needs.

It concerns me that if (Drumlin is) going to that level, why not go further and get fully regulated?” [Anita] Martin [of Lake Mills' Citizens for a Better Environment] said. “It’s doubtful they will do the voluntary things that otherwise would be required, like being subjected to public review from time to time.”
Perched atop a pair of railroad underpasses, Unimin Corp.'s Tunnel City silica extraction center last year began sending carloads of fine, white sand to energy producers in Pennsylvania, North Dakota and Texas. Under the terms of Unimin's development contract, the company owes Greenfield 15 cents on the first million tons of sand it ships out of Tunnel City and 10 cents after that. In 2014, the mine's first year of operation, Unimin paid out $222,019 to the community.
UNIMIN’s Tunnel City operation was built to supply frac sand to drillers in what’s called the Bakken Shale play of North Dakota and southern Montana, which saw an incredible growth in the number of oil and gas wells between 2012 and 2015. But with oil prices just more than half of what they were in two years ago, new well completions have stalled.
