Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed critique of Wisconsinâs pioneering experiment in state regulation of public utilities through its Railroad Commission and Public Utility Act, in place since 1907. The author draws on nearly six years of investigation and testimony to challenge the claims of the state regulation movement and to prove that, in practice, it has worked gegen den Strich, against the interests of the public. The bookâs specific indictments of the Wisconsin system include its failure to deliver lower rates or better service, its protection of utility companiesâ interests over public interests, and the financial burden it has placed on the state at large, all under the guise of ensuring fairness to all parties. Through detailed analysis of 134 cases involving rate and service issues, the author demonstrates a consistent pattern of decisions favoring utility companies over the public and of slow or inadequate action in response to public concerns. The book also examines the broader social and political consequences of the Wisconsin system, including its negative impact on local communities, its stifling of citizen initiative, and its reinforcement of utility company influence in local politics. Overall, this book offers a powerful indictment of the Wisconsin model of state regulation, arguing that it has failed to deliver on its promises and has instead worked to the detriment of the public interest.
