The showdown between Arizona Public Service and state utility regulator Bob Burns has been put off while he shops for an attorney.
Burns said Thursday he reached a deal of sorts with the power company to give it and its parent, Pinnacle West Capital Corp., more time to produce all the documents he subpoenaed.
That also puts off Burns’ demand that Don Brandt, the chief executive of both companies, submit to questioning under oath next month about political donations and other financial matters.
But Burns said he is getting something out of the deal, too: time to find and hire an attorney.
