JACKSON, MS BY WYATT EMMERICH, PUBLISHER, NORTHSIDE SUN
I attended my first Public Service Commission (PSC) hearing last week. I was not impressed. Because power companies have monopolies, the PSC is there to protect the consumer. But that's not what I witnessed. Instead, PSC commissioner Leonard Bentz seemed irritated at some of the citizens who showed up to protest the new rate hikes precipitated by the new $3.7 billion Kemper lignite plant.
