Mike Huebsch, a Public Service Commission (PSC) regulator, approved over $1 million in two projects for Dairyland Power Cooperative and then applied to serve as CEO of the utility months later, according to a report from the Wisconsin State Journal.
In his last few months on the commission, Huebsch voted to authorize two projects in which Dairyland is a major partner: the $492 million Cardinal-Hickory Creek transmission line and a $700 million natural gas plant, prompting allegations of bias by opponents of both projects.
