Webster Walks Out As Senator Attacks Utility Bill
In Raleigh, Senator Wesley O D Webster walked out of a House Public Utilities Committee meeting after Deputy Attorney General I Beverly Lake sharply criticized a Senate omnibus utility law revamp. The bill would widen the Utilities Commission, end the automatic fuel adjustment clause, speed hearings, and bar the forward test period. Lake called the measure antiquated and insufficient, and urged broader reform.
