On June 11, the Public Service Commission (PSC) allowed utilities in Wisconsin to start disconnecting power, as of July 25, from people who’ve fallen behind on their payments.
In March the PSC issued a moratorium on such shut-offs, which it did, until July 25, on the assumption that the coronavirus pandemic would be under control by now and that our economy would be better. Neither is true. The pandemic is back and the unemployment rate stands at 12 percent. Many people simply can’t pay their utilities right now.

Call to Action: Please contact the Public Service Commission and urge them to reinstate this moratorium. Click Read More for the email address.
