GET ME REWRITE: State Senate President Pro Tempore Patrick Testin unhappy with this Wisconsin Supreme Court turndown

Wisconsin’s highest court has declined to hear a case involving a Georgia timber company’s quest to build a frac sand facility on rare wetlands in western Wisconsin. 
The Supreme Court issued an order Wednesday denying Meteor Timber’s petition to reconsider findings of two lower courts and an administrative law judge who revoked the company’s permit for the proposed $75 million project. 
The one-sentence order did not state the court’s reasoning and noted only that Justice Rebecca Bradley dissented. Meteor was assessed $50 in court costs.
