Lisa Edgar keeps her job
Gov. Charlie Crist announced today that he was going to reappoint Lisa Edgar to the Public Service Commission.
Edgar was first appointed to the PSC in 2005 and served as chairwoman for 2006 and 2007. She is to begin a new four-year term on Jan. 2, 2009. The state Senate still has to sign off on the appointment.

Congrats Lisa. We are very proud of you.

Maybe she can work to get rid of incompetent staffers.

Agree regarding the staffers!
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 04:45 PM
Cogratulations Lisa. Very well deserved.

The staffers need to go.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 05:18 PM
The staffers are darned sure trying to squash renewable energy in Florida from what I keep reading.

Skop, get off the blogs. You are the problem at the PSC.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 06:36 PM
Give us the names of the staffers and what their crimes are. Not obeying you? Skop.

staffer Larry harris is a grade A certifiable moron

7:15 Who is he? I heard that Skops assistant couldnt stand him anymore and had to leave. He treated her like c r a p

Harris is a nasty little man who has bounced around that agency for far too long. He represents what is wrong with that staff. He struts around with a sense of entitlement that is only overshadowed by his incompetence.
Someone should make little larry go earn a living for a change.

8:44 Who cares? You sound like you might have been outshined by this person. You sound very jealous. Why don't you tell us what he has done that makes you so angry? Why arn't you more interested in bigger issues at the PSC? You sound very childish and you sound like someone who likes to fight with everybody.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 09:27 PM
8:02 Yes the poor girl worked hard for him. He was intolerable and demanded way too much from her. I bet he goes through many assistants because no one can really work for him and stay sane.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 09:29 PM
9:27 is that you Larry?
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 09:30 PM
9:30 No, not Larry. Sorry Skop your wrong.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 09:41 PM
thank you governor for not choosing that fat miamian.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 09:51 PM
Talk about morons Ryder Rudd is an imbecile. He was practically fired at DEP yet the hapless PSC has him in a leadership position.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 09:51 PM
The Governor did the right thing. Rojas was being pushed by a legislator with a wife who lobbies for the utilities. Rojas, when he was a legislator, pushed the worst telecom rate hike, and Charlie Crist as the AG rightly opposed it. It would be very hypocritical to now appoint Rojas, who by the way is currently a lobbyist.
The Dawson applicant had no real experience compared to Edgar and the Governor made the right choice. Thank you Governor for being level headed. Please keep doing the right thing.

There should be an IQ test to work at the PSC!
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:04 PM
10:04 give example of what you think is wrong. If you cant then you are just a disgruntled individual who complains with out justification, If you cant, then we will know you are a lobbyist for the utilities.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:07 PM
The place is run by idiots, the aides have too much power that people walk around cowering from the aides. 10:07 I am glad to see PSC staffers are still up blogging.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:13 PM
I used to work at DEP and 9:51 speaks the truth!
Posted by: DEP | September 10, 2008 at 10:13 PM
1- Sen. Alex Diaz dela Portilla gets himself appointed to the PCS nominating committee to get his friend Luis Rojas on the short list.
2-Luis Rojas promises Sen. Alex Diaz dela Portilla that his wife Claudia the lobbyist will get all kinds of contracts with the utilities once he is a commissioner and they can split the deals.
3-Sen. Alex Diaz dela Portilla works tirelessly against Lisa Edgar and trashes her good name.
4-Lisa Edgar is reappointed.
5-Sen. Alex Diaz dela Portoillet is a big loser.
6-Sen. Alex Diaz dela Portoillet is having a fundraiser for his CCE so he can become Senate President. He is just one vote away.

10:13 A and B we know you are the same person. Still waiting for examples.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:19 PM
Seems like there are a lot of PSC staffers on here tonight taking pot shots at one another.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:27 PM
10:18 Diaz Di La toilet did trash edagr
10:13 Glad to see a Commissioner up blogging. Wonder which one? I think I know. Maybe its the one with nothing else to do.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:31 PM
10:19 definitely works at the PSC my guess is his initials are RR
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:31 PM
10:27 Nice try. Just two of us here. Me and the Commissioner
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:32 PM
Larry Harris is a good worker and its easy for the anonymous to impugn him. The Public Service Commission has a lot of good people working for them and he is among them.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:33 PM
10:18 I heard that was true. I imagine that Diaz D ildo Portillla is fuming. He really tried.
Posted by: jonathan | September 10, 2008 at 10:36 PM
10:33 I guess there are more people here then I thought.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:40 PM
Lots of interesting posts tonight. Some people with have some splaining to do at work tomorrow. My suggestion is to trim the fat at the PSC.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:42 PM
10:31 Nice try again. More like initials or NS.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:42 PM
10:42 Yes I agree. Trim one Commissioner seat.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:44 PM
10:40 is that you Mary Bane?
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:44 PM
Name one Skop ally? He has stooges all over the place.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:46 PM
I bet the Gray Robinson Law Firm gets rid of Alex Diaz d lay Portolet's brother Reindeer Diaz d lay Snortilla. They could lose all their utilities clients after the power play flopped and Alex p....d off all the commissioners.
Posted by: Tod | September 10, 2008 at 10:48 PM
10:31 More like initials of NS
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:51 PM
Your right Tod. This could cost the Gray Robinson firm mucho dinero.
Posted by: Fernando | September 10, 2008 at 10:51 PM
10:48 I bet your right. They must be going crazy. They thought they had it made. Thought that Diaz Di la Portapotty could really make it happen.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:53 PM
Bennett must be laughing his butt off. Dont ya think?
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 10:55 PM
Bennett will be the senate president before you know it.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 11:02 PM
What does this have to do with Bennett?
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 11:03 PM
Skop go to bed
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 11:04 PM
Bennett wanted the Chairmanship of the nominating committee. Diaz Di La portico got Bennett out of the picture so he could get what he needed for himself and his buddies.
Posted by: | September 10, 2008 at 11:07 PM
Bennett and DLP are pals. So many clueless people spouting off here, its funny to hear it passed off as fact.
Posted by: CLowns | September 11, 2008 at 12:23 AM
Lisa Edgar is a competent, good PSC member. I suspect Crist had a talk with her about keeping rates low and bringing more renewable energy to florida.
Posted by: | September 11, 2008 at 08:20 AM
Lisa is a great choice but its so much more fun to blog about incompetent underlings.
After all Agenda isn't until Tuesday
Posted by: | September 11, 2008 at 09:34 AM
There are a lot of morons running around the PSC. Hopefully Edgar can clean the place up.
Posted by: | September 11, 2008 at 09:41 AM
Those morons come from DEP - Edgar's stomping ground...
