Y'all Politics has a great post on Northern District Public Service Commissioner Brandon Presley and Attorney General Jim Hood working together to return to the Public Service Commission structure back to the days when commissioners could freely engage in corruption without the bureaucratic nightmare that exists today. Afterall, with Jim Hood there to protect us, there is no need for an independent Public Utilities Staff or a trustworthy PSC. And Presley thinks politics is like bacon, everything (including utility audits) is better with a good dose of it. And by the looks of him, Presley really loves politics. (Be sure to check out the video at the post to see Presley tagging along behind Hood behind Utilities Chairman Tyrone Ellis.) The most fascinating aspect of the whole thing is that they convinced the Speaker to rush their bill from committee to the floor and it failed on a procedural vote.
UPDATE: The measure passed the House the following day.
