Tensions rose on Wednesday as the Arizona Corporation Commission’s hearing on Johnson Utilities ground on for its third day.
Testimony from Trevor Baggiore, Arizona Department of Environmental Quality’s water quality division director, stretched past noon in its second day, and he continued to evade attempts by ACC staff and the Residential Utility Consumer Office to get him to give his opinion on the appointment of an interim manager or to directly connect violations to managerial failures at Johnson Utilities.
Staff became visibly frustrated as Baggiore continued to deflect any questions intended to elicit his professional opinion on the San Tan Valley utility’s operations.
