Evers' Public Service Commission pick rejected in partisan vote, latest in string of appointees voted down
- Senate rejects Gov. Evers' appointee Tyler Huebner to the Public Service Commission in a party-line vote
- Republicans concerned Huebner overstepped regulatory role and made activist decisions on rates and renewables
- Democrats argued Huebner was qualified and an advocate for renewable energy
- Evers said Huebner was experienced and accused Republicans of partisan games with appointments
- This latest rejected appointee follows 7 others voted down in October, concerning Evers about a "chilling effect" on public service
