Debate Over Wisconsin 1937 Little TVA in Court
Circuit Judge Alvin C. Reis heard arguments on the 1937 Little TVA act that funds the Wisconsin Development Authority with 60 000 dollars yearly to push a public power program. Harold Stafford contends the scheme makes the state a party to intertrial improvements, violating the state constitution. The case questions the act’s validity, delegation of powers, and legality of state subsidies.
