Money Earmarked For PFAS Solutions

Money Earmarked For PFAS Solutions

 Wisconsin is looking to set aside 125-million dollars for PFAS contamination across the state. 

The budget-writing Joint Finance Committee agreed yesterday to create a trust fund to help local communities deal with PFAS in their water supplies.  State Rep. Mark Born says Wisconsin needs to take some time and figure out the best strategy for dealing with PFAS contamination, but he said setting aside 125-million dollars now will guarantee there will be money in the future to address the state’s needs.  Democrats at the Capitol are happy with the trust fund, but want the Republican-controlled legislature to do more about water quality right away.
