DEL.ICIO.USStraight arrows find it hard to survive Gold Dome
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
There’s not much demand for PB&J Politicians.
We say we like them. We’re always looking for Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, the straight arrow of the 1939 Frank Capra classic.
But, truth is, they don’t fare all that well in the real world of politics.
Take Angela Speir, for example. After one six-year term as a member of the Georgia Public Service Commission, Speir, a Republican, opted not to run again this year. Could she have been re-elected? Probably, though she’d have a tough race against the veteran politico known during his legislative career, and later on the PSC, as Lauren “Bubba” McDonald.
Times change, though, and as evidence thereof, Bubba the Democrat is now Lauren the Republican. It’s a new Georgia. He’s the best-known of the four candidates —- two Republicans and two Democrats —- qualifying to succeed her.
Six years ago, Speir was an unknown, under-the-radar 34-year-old who spent little beyond the qualifying fee in a race against the better-known McDonald. When the votes were counted, she had 924,015 to McDonald’s 911,772. The upset was such that, for awhile at least, she was referred to as the “Accidental Regulator.”
Republicans just coming into power under the Gold Dome would have done well to emulate Speir. “I’ve never let a lobbyist even buy me a cup of coffee,” she says. Some in newfound positions of power under the Gold Dome do more than take a cup of coffee; they use lobbyists as credit cards, just as the good ol’ boys had before them.
For Speir, the perks of power held no sway. She declined the Crown Victoria that taxpayers provide members of the Public Service Commission. She declines, too, to accept tickets, gifts, junkets —- favors in all forms. She does not accept meals from lobbyists —- or journalists. For this interview, her suggestions include the snack bar at Agnes Scott College. “I usually eat a PB&J [peanut butter and jelly sandwich] at my desk, so I don’t know of many quiet places to meet,” she had said when I first proposed that we talk over lunch.
“You don’t have to ply me with food or beverages to give me the facts,” she recalls telling those who wished to influence her when she first joined the PSC. “Whatever you have to say, say it on the record in a committee room.” She continues:
“I wasn’t going to tell them how I was going to vote [on rate cases], and I wouldn’t tolerate off-the-record conversations with things they wouldn’t say before every interested party.”
One of her crowning achievements as a commissioner was to get the PSC to agree to a rule that would ban private talks between commissioners and those with business before the agency during the final weeks of deliberations when proposed settlements are being discussed. That rule, she said when it was finally approved last August, would move the PSC toward decisions “based solely on the evidence on the record and not on backroom deals.”
When she talks about her six years on the PSC, it’s with the refreshing innocence of a schoolgirl idealist, a Miss Smith Goes to Atlanta. “I didn’t run for office so I could make a living,” she says. “I looked on it as a way to make a difference. It’s a very humbling calling to be a public servant. I feel like I’m there to represent 9 million people and that they are there with me, counting on me to make a fair, honest and ethical decision.”
As she leaves the PSC, perhaps to work with children in a nonprofit, perhaps to start a family, she’s not certain what will come next. “I’m 40 years old; I’ve got a lot of life left and I’m really excited about that,” she said. “There’s more to life than utility regulation.”
Whatever’s ahead, Speir is certain of the legacy of her regulatory career. “I want to look back and know that I have done everything possible to honor the Lord and the people of Georgia with courage, strength and integrity.”
PB&J Politicians. God bless ‘em —- and the mamas and daddies that raise ‘em.

Was LBJ a PB+J politician?

Good morning all. I will have to rein in my normal (justifiably) harsh comments about bureaucrats in this discussion of Ms. Speir. While I still see no rational basis for the existence of a PSC, I will have to concede that Ms. Speir fulfills the behavior standard that would be necessary to make a government agency an honorable entity.
A firm journalistic rule is that if the article is negative about a democrat or favorable about a republican, the party affiliation is always omitted. (And the converse is true.) Thus, from the absence of mention, I assume Ms. Speir is a republican.

Well, I reckon that woman wasn’t part of the PSC crowd that passed utility deregulation and claimed it would save alot of money for people. A few more reforms like that and we would all be on the street with tin cups and shoeshine rags. Now people got to pay not only GA Power and Atlanta Gas Light but also all these other cos. that want to add a hunderd bucks or so to your bill and then charge you a fee that depends on your credit. On top of that you got to listen to all their ads about how they are cheaper and better than the other cos. I guess Free Innerprize don’t always work to make things cheaper but it was a good try and it give jobs to all those people that started the cos. and wanted to make a mint at taxpayer cost. I just wish GA Power and Atlanta Gas Light had of paid the PSC members more money than the cos. that got the business.
That poor woman must of felt like the one-legged man at the butt-kicking party during her term. Every other PSC member was living it up with trips and meals and tickets paid for by people with business for the PSC to handle, and here she is eating peanut butter and jelly for lunch. She didn’t even have the sense to take a legal bribe. We call legal bribes “campaign contributions” not bribes. No wonder she’s leaving. She’s probly broke by now.
I can’t figure out what the PSC is there for. They never turn down a rate increase. The utility cos. just tell the PSC what they are going to charge and then do it. Same as old Oxendine does for the insurance cos. Heck, I say get rid of the PSC and let the utility cos. charge anything they want. We would all get by cheaper.
Have a good day everybody.

I could not agree more with Mr. Wooten this morning. I had occasion to work a few times with Ms. Speir in a previous professional incarnation and I found her to be just as he describes her - polite, fair, open, smart, principled and absolutely committed to representing the best interest of ratepayers - both short and long term.
The PSC is a tiny knot of huge money influence, and the astounding complexity of the matters before it dissuade any but subject specialists from venturing too close. This is a very bad thing, as regulated industries such as Georgia Power, Atlanta Gas Light and the telcoms are only too eager to monopolize the commissioners’ time and attention to the detriment of the ratepayers.
Commissioner Speir withstood those pressures better than anyone else on the PSC in recent years has, with the possible exception of Bobby Baker. She tried her best to move the entrenched interests further into the light with her ban on ex parte communications, watered down as it was by Stan Wise, Doug Everett and others. She is precisely the kind of person who is most needed in such an obscure but influential position, and sadly the kind most likely to be driven out.
Thank you, Commissioner Speir, for six years of very good governance.

Good job Ms. Speir. Resisting the temptations thrown your way in the name of friendship, while doing the people’s business is a good start. Why not introduce rules, and/or legislation which makes that practice mandatory for all PSC and, for that matter, all politicians.
It may be a good time getting out of the elected rat race, since many people are sick and tired of the lack of progress and ethics in our legislature and commisions. An Incumbent will have a hard time in the fall to win their seat back (as well as Mr. MacDonald).
May you live long and prosper!

In a PB+J politician it’s simple to find the grapes of graft: follow the Jelly.
Also, by turning down the Crown Vic, is she saying that she doesn’t want to be unduly influenced by the voters?
Worse, her plans include “save the children” nonprofits? This Angela seems like an angel. We know she’s done everything possible to honor the lord. That’s not suspect at all, (maybe not, if she were the Singing Nun speaking at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony).

Good morning, Jim, jbmlaw, and others.
I hate to be negative, but be they Democrat or Republican, elected officials almost always fall victim to the incumbency syndrome. They realize that they are going to be able to accomplish little if anything in one (2,4, or 6)year term. Consequently, they must begin thinking immediately about re-election and that leads to pandering to lobbyists, special interest groups and other diseases.
Soon they become obsessed with the effort to maintain re-election.
Only the enactment of term limitations will ever result in the change of this never-ending cycle.

It’s part of a larger effort, (for which I take full blame even though I didn’t ask these stunwits to perform for me), to run interference and make the right’s head spin trying to figure out who po fo is.
it’s like Dusty thinks anyone who types, “Alot” instead of “a lot” is me, or any other mispell or stylistic breach of the elements of style, etc.

Good piece, Jim. As usual, your best writing comes when you fully develop a single issue in a complete essay, rather then tossing in one-paragraph or one-sentence fragments. No offense intended.
This state would be a lot better off with a couple of hundred Angela Spiers. Now, the question we all should be asking ourselves is this: Why are the Angela Spiers of the world either leaving public office, or refusing to run for it?

Yet MORE vainglorious Klinton like LIES from the worthless, vacuous, cliche spewing, elephant eared, precious half-black nonentity Hussein Obama!!
You’d think that demoNcrats would stop their brassnecked LYING about blindingly obvious, easily checkable, historical events. But NO … these grasping narcissistic scum puke up their lies, knowing that the majority of fawning lefty halfwits in the party of hate media NEVER expose their wittle chosen demoNcrat scum!!
“Barack Obama is getting called out YET again for his knowledge of history, including his own family’s, after declaring to veterans on Memorial Day that his uncle helped liberate the Auschwitz death camp at the end of World War II.
Two problems with the tale: Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army, and Obama’s American mother was an only child.
Speaking in Las Cruces, N.M., on Monday, the Democratic presidential candidate said he did not serve, but comes from a family that did sacrifice for the nation. He was speaking about the many members of the military who suffer post traumatic stress disorder and should be given better care.
“I had a uncle who was one of the, who was part of the first American troops to go into Auschwitz and liberate the concentration camps and the story in our family is that when he came home, he just went up into the attic and he didn’t leave the house for six months, right. Now obviously something had really affected him deeply but at that time there just weren’t the kinds of facilities to help somebody work through that kind of pain,” he said.
However, a quick check on the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Web site shows that Soviet forces were the first to approach Auschwitz, which was in Poland.
“On Jan. 27, 1945, the Soviet army entered Auschwitz and liberated more than 7,000 remaining prisoners,” the site reads.
U.S. forces did liberate several camps, including Ohrdruf Concentration Camp on April 4, 1945; Mittelbau-Dora Concentration Camp on April 11, 1945; Buchenwald on April 12, 1945; Dachau on April 29, 1945; and Mauthausen on May 5, 1945.
Obama was raised in part by his grandparents, and his father served in the second World War. A request for clarification has been made to the Obama campaign.
Obviously Hussein Obama’s uncledaddy was actually up in the attic smoking weed for six months!! Hence the deranged nonsensical FAMILIAL LIES!!
