PSC more to limit the lobbying work
State Utility regulators markets plus a step Tuesday to limit their own discussions behind closed doors with lobbyists, proposed a rule that proponents say, eliminate most of the discussions at the foolishness that now.
The proposal - the so-called “ex parte” rule - the ban on communication during the final days of the utility of fighting, after the hearings are completed and the last wave of law letter was filed.
It would be narrower than the limit of Commissioner Angela Speir, three months ago. It proposes to limit camera lobbying commissioners in a case pending.
But the revised version - also supported by Speir, on Tuesday - has an advantage over the original.
The revised version may not happen later.
