The state Senate has passed a video competition bill which aims to deregulate the cable industry in the Wisconsin. A lengthy debate Thursday saw Senators offer more than twenty amendments to the controversial legislation authored by South Milwaukee Democrat, Jeff Plale. “This is after all till an art of compromise,” said Plale. “I think this bill is a very good bill.” Plale and supporters have argued it will decrease cable costs in the long run. Opponents maintain the bill will do nothing to help consumers in underserved areas of rural Wisconsin.
