To the Honorable, the Legislature:
In fulfillment of the requirements under s.
299.83 (8)(h), Wisconsin State Statutes, I am transmitting the 2012 Green Tier Biennial Progress Report. Please distribute as appropriate. I am also providing a copy of the Report to the Governor and to the Chief Clerk of the Assembly.
Green Tier continues to provide tools and strategies to make Wisconsin the ideal state for growing the green bottom line. Green Tier continues to grow in participants and in the number of business and environmental objectives achieved by each of them. As with the 2010 Biennial Report, this report provides some retrospective analysis and prospective insights. In the 2012 Biennial Report we have provided more information on the economic gain and regulatory flexibility from the program. We hope that this report will stimulate conversations and actions that create even more value for Green Tier participants and more incentives for Green Tier participation.
Sincerely,
Cathy Stepp
Secretary
Referred to committee on Natural Resources.
