PUC chair resigns in wake of call to energy investors
Arthur D’Andrea, the chair and sole remaining member of the Public Utility Commission resigned late last week at the request of Gov. Gregg Abbott. D’Andrea pledged to remain on the PUC until Abbott names a replacement. In the announcement, Abbott said in part, “Texans deserve to have trust and confidence in the Public Utility Commission, and this action is one of many steps that will be taken to achieve that goal.”
