Fix that and keep politicians like Crist from politicizing the process and you'll see things change.

Naturally, this so-called expert is hired by FPL to try to panic the market. The big utilities in Florida have been getting away with piracy for the last 20 years. It's about time to rein in the PSC and their yes-men kissing up to FPL. FPL is guaranteed a certain amount of profit if I remember the purpose of the PSC.

Crist should have launch an investigation into backroom deals and influence peddling, though I do understand his outburst could be the heat of the moment. I really don't argue with certain lobbying, but FP&L, as well as Insurance Co., have been running amok in this state with their greed, steadily bendng elbows to force their increases on the residents of Florida. Everytime FP&L gets turned down for one increase, the launch another with a new focus, just to get what they want. I wonder how far some of these multi-million dollar salaries would go to not needing increases to meet employee salaries and expansion funding. Better than threatening the commissionors, Gov.
