Bob Burns is headed back to court — and not just in his bid to get financial disclosure records from the state’s largest electric utility.
The move follows the 4-1 vote on Tuesday by the Arizona Corporation Commission to reject the bid by Burns to compel Arizona Public Service and parent company Pinnacle West Capital Corp. to comply with the subpoena he had issued. That same vote denied his bid to at least have company executives testify before a hearing officer and allow his attorney to question them.
That clears the way for Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Daniel Kiley to rule on Burns’ lawsuit to force the utility to give him what he wants.
