Commissioners and Deputy Commissioners: The Hearing Process
Today, the General Assembly approved of Governor Cooper's appointment of Chairman Baddour to another six-year term as Chair of the Full Commission. This is a good opportunity to discuss the hearing process. Who makes up the Commission and the 20 Deputy Commissioners spread across the state?

I will discuss in full in today's episode.
