And we passed 83 piece legislation on my committee. 28 now have been signed into law … Stillwater Bridge...needed a waiver from the Wild Scenic Rivers act...we got that passed...signed I think in January of 2012. … It's nearing completion, that'll have some pretty significant economic impact. But I put pressure on the S and C to make sure that they would craft the rules so that the Connect American Fund would actually be attractive to be used in Wisconsin. (14:47–15:20)
