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!

Cogratulations Lisa. Very well deserved.

The staffers need to go.

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.

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.

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.

9:27 is that you Larry?

9:30 No, not Larry. Sorry Skop your wrong.

thank you governor for not choosing that fat miamian.

Talk about morons Ryder Rudd is an imbecile. He was practically fired at DEP yet the hapless PSC has him in a leadership position.

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!

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.

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.

I used to work at DEP and 9:51 speaks the truth!

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.

Seems like there are a lot of PSC staffers on here tonight taking pot shots at one another.

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.

10:19 definitely works at the PSC my guess is his initials are RR

10:27 Nice try. Just two of us here. Me and the Commissioner

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.

10:18 I heard that was true. I imagine that Diaz D ildo Portillla is fuming. He really tried.

10:33 I guess there are more people here then I thought.

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.

10:31 Nice try again. More like initials or NS.

10:42 Yes I agree. Trim one Commissioner seat.

10:40 is that you Mary Bane?

Name one Skop ally? He has stooges all over the place.

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.

10:31 More like initials of NS

Your right Tod. This could cost the Gray Robinson firm mucho dinero.

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.

Bennett must be laughing his butt off. Dont ya think?

Bennett will be the senate president before you know it.

What does this have to do with Bennett?

Skop go to bed

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.

Bennett and DLP are pals. So many clueless people spouting off here, its funny to hear it passed off as fact.

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.

Lisa is a great choice but its so much more fun to blog about incompetent underlings.

After all Agenda isn't until Tuesday

There are a lot of morons running around the PSC. Hopefully Edgar can clean the place up.

Those morons come from DEP - Edgar's stomping ground...
