Northwestern railroad fight could curb railroad commission power
Deputy Attorney General Walter Drew warns that if the Supreme Court sustains Northwestern’s view in the Milwaukee Lake Ice case the railroad commission would be largely curtailed. The commission recently cut ice rates from Spring Lake to Milwaukee by a fraction of a cent, and the case hinges on whether the commission may consider only hearing evidence or must reveal all collected material. The attorney general’s office argues the broader requirement would handicap regulators by forcing disclosure of years of gathered data.
