Trial of City Suit on Marshfield Plant Purchase
The Connors sue the city of Marshfield and others to unsettle the light water and power plant transfer, now before circuit court in Madison. Plaintiffs argue loss to taxpayers if the transfer stands, while proponents cite the plant as a sound bargain already paying costs and funding bonds, with service to the public and private consumers. The case, moved by Judge Stevens over a protest, hinges on whether the plaintiffs can prove a justifiable action to injure the city.
