It will be interesting to see what happens with all this. D'Andrea is right that the outrageous charges being pushed onto Texas electricity users are all very legal under their current system. The only way the charges can be mitigated is for Texas Republicans to break the law. Will the courts allow that? Will customers pay?
Or rebel?:Abbott, whose office had defended D'Andrea on Friday, did not provide a reason for why he had requested D'Andrea's resignation. But the news came hours after Texas Monthly published a story Tuesday saying D'Andrea had told out-of-state investors on a call he would work to throw "the weight of the commission" behind stopping calls for repricing.
..."We want to make sure that we are going to show the vision to our fellow Texans that we are charting a new and fresh course for the Public Utility Commission, and the action that I made is one of many steps that will be taken to achieve those goals," Abbott said.
...And, asked at Thursday's news conference whether he had spoken with House members sympathetic to his position on repricing, Patrick said, "Yes, I'll leave it at that."
