Rutherford Calls For Electing PSC Members
KENTUCKY…
Apparently upset at the announcement by American Electric Power of their intent to seek a substantial rate increase, Pike County Judge-Executive Wayne T. Rutherford has voiced his concern. Rutherford has taken the position that PSC members should go before the public and be chosen by ballot for their position. Currently, Commission members are appointed. The Judge said the current means of staffing the Commission makes it less responsive to the public.
