Public Utility Commission chairman
Dee ann Walker resigned after pressure
from the Lieutenant Governor to get out.
(Tried to post some links, but it won't go)

JMO- I'd personally like to have a bunch of
the bigwigs from here and there have to
sit in an uncomfortable chair all day and
have to testify about the whole mess and
explain their jobs in detail publicly, but
that'll never happen

  Explain their jobs? They would have a hard time doing that. To bad there can't be time studies done by the public for those people that are paid by tax payers. Just like companies do to see where they can cut costs.  I'm sure there are a whole lot of jobs that could be whacked of useless people that don't do much all day except drink coffee, and think of ways to get more money out of peoples pockets.

Well well well well well well

Looks like ERCOT overcharged for power
by at least a couple of billion dollars, and
continued to do so even after they figured
out what they did

From what I understand, the ERCOT
biggest bigwig that is leaving was
due a 800,000 some odd dollar severance
pay that he's not going to receive 
How does a more or less public
servant arrange a gig like that and
be on the up and up?
