MILWAUKEE — The Wisconsin Chapter of Americans for Prosperity is warning Wisconsin families about this "climate security act" that was introduced in the Senate by Sen. Joseph Lieberman. According to a study conducted by the Heritage Foundation, Wisconsin consumers would suffer tremendously from the introduction of this bill.
