Who Serves the Governor and Public Utilities in Ohio
A controversy centers on Ohio Public Utilities Commissioner George T. Poor owning 10 000 dollars in Cities Service Company stock.

The columnist argues the system favors utilities, noting salaries and expenses largely paid by public service firms and highlighting the disclosed loan collateral tied to Poor. The piece questions justice for the people regardless of the outcome.
