The head of the state’s largest electric utility may be suing Bob Burns in court.
But Don Brandt apparently wants to keep Burns as a member of the Arizona Corporation Commission for another four years.
In an email to employees of Arizona Public Service obtained by Capitol Media Services, Brandt acknowledged he has “disagreements” with Burns.
Burns has been outspoken in his demand that APS and parent company Pinnacle West divulge whether either was the source of $3.2 million in anonymous donations to groups working to elect two other Republicans to the commission in 2012. He said the reported funding — the company won’t deny it was the source of the money — taints the commission’s reputation and causes the public to question its decision.
