As part of DATCP's continued outreach with a variety of stakeholders during the COVID-19 pandemic, WPMCA confirmed to the agency that fuel supply continues to flow into the state and is available for retail purchase. “WPMCA members are committed to serving Wisconsin consumers throughout this emergency. Our members work to maintain clean facilities and monitor fuel quantities on a frequent basis," confirmed Matthew Hauser, President & CEO of WPMCA.
“DATCP is committed to serving the citizens of Wisconsin to maintain a fair marketplace and ensure an adequate supply of high-quality fuel," said Randy Romanski, DATCP Interim Secretary. “Our Division of Trade and Consumer Protection stands ready to respond to any questions or concerns Wisconsin consumers may have."
