WISCONSIN RAPIDS – If there are two things Wisconsin lawmakers agree on in central Wisconsin, it’s that they want to help restart the paper mill that has been shut down for a year in Wisconsin Rapids, and members of the other party are playing games.
On Wednesday, the state Senate sent a bill to Gov. Tony Evers that would provide up to $50 million in federal pandemic aid loans to a timber cooperative that s seeking to buy and operate the mill that Verso closed in Wisconsin Rapids last year. The bill also authorizes a loan of up to $15 million for a cooperative to buy a second paper mill that closed in Park Falls. The Senate passed the legislation this week.
