Arizona Public Service offered to settle its dispute with Arizona Corporation Commissioner Bob Burns, but Burns rejected the proposal, public records show.
APS and its parent company, Pinnacle West Capital Corp., wanted Burns to agree to drop his quest for disclosure of potential political spending conducted by the companies in previous years. In exchange, APS would support new disclosure rules on future expenditures by regulated and unregulated entities with business before the commission, according to documents obtained through a public records request.
Burns’ response? No thanks, delivered in a strongly worded 6-page letter from his attorney.
