Thompson outlines plan to reform PUCO selection
Democratic control would place the PUCO under party influence with the governor filling vacancies. Thompson proposes elected members serving six-year terms, a chair chosen by members, and salaries around 30 000 to 35 000 dollars. He argues this could satisfy energy crisis demands and voters by ensuring accountability every six years.
