Show Notes

Alabama State Senator Garlan Gudger introduces the Power To The People Act, expanding the Public Service Commission from three to seven elected seats. The bill, sponsored by Senator Clyde Chambliss, includes governor-appointed commissioners, staggered terms, and rate freeze provisions. It also limits utility influence and creates a new energy secretary position. Supporters argue it empowers everyday Alabamians, while critics see it as a power grab. The Senate committee hears the bill Wednesday at one p.m., with a related House measure for public rate hearings.
