Ind. Gov't. - Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission names sent to Governor
An AP story this morning in the Louisville Courier Journal reports:
INDIANAPOLIS -- A nominating committee recommended yesterday that Gov. Mitch Daniels consider six applicants, including a longtime state senator, to fill two open positions on the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.Nineteen people had applied for the spots on the five-member panel, which regulates rates and other aspects of some phone, natural gas, electricity and water utilities. The six finalists include Sen. Greg Server, an Evansville Republican who has served in the Senate since 1980.
It is up to Daniels to make the final two choices and pick a chairman. Server would have to resign his Senate seat if chosen, and a caucus of GOP precinct committee members in his district would choose a replacement.
Others recommended yesterday were:
Daniel S. Arthur of Sudbury, Mass., a senior associate at an economic consulting firm called The Brattle Group.
David Lott Hardy, an attorney in Fort Wayne.
John E. Haselden of Avon, director of industrial development and engineering services for the Indiana Railroad Co.
Gary Powdrill of Greenfield, a retired executive for the Ford Motor Co. who most recently did consulting work for ThyssenKrupp Presta, an automotive components maker based in Germany.Michael W. Reed of Noblesville, a retired state general manager for GTE/Verizon. * * *
Daniels spokeswoman Jane Jankowski said the governor was expected to make his appointments within a week.
