Consumers Council Says PSC Chair Davis Should Recuse Himself To Avoid Appearance Of Impropriety
ST. LOUIS – Alberta Slavin, president of the Consumers Council of Missouri, today called on the chairman of the Missouri Public Service Commission, Jeff Davis, to recuse himself from any further hearings and voting on the proposed merger by KCP&L and Aquila.
Slavin said Davis must recuse himself to avoid the appearance that consumers’ interests were marginalized when he met secretly with Aquila executives, and they inferred Davis’
support for the proposed merger months before the proposal was brought before the PSC. If the merger is approved by the PSC, it could cost Aquila customers $80 million in higher utility rates.
