confirmed, Debi Tate will be an excellent addition to
the Commission. She has a distinguished career in
state government, and she has worked closely with the
Commission in her role as Director of the Tennessee
Regulatory Authority. Also, if confirmed, I look
forward to continuing to work closely with
Commissioner Copps. He has served admirably at the
Commission for the past four years, and I respect his
insight and thoughtfulness on issues before the
Commission. I welcome both Debi and Michael, and I
appreciate their continued dedication to public
service.”
