Require bids to build trust

If Gov. Scott Walker and the Legislature want to sell off state-owned power plants, taxpayers deserve a fair price. That means state officials absolutely should use a competitive bidding process for sale of these significant public properties. He did pledge an open process, should the sale of the 32 heating and cooling plants proceed. The plants for sale would include the Charter Street plant, which provides service to UW-Madison.
