ELPC’s Howard Learner Says ICC Chief is a Smart Choice
Monday, January 4, 2010
Governor Pat Quinn named Alderman Manuel Flores the new chairman of the Illinois Commerce Commission, the body that regulates utilities in Ilinois. Mr. Flores is a smart choice for promoting green jobs in the state according to ELPC Executive Director Howard Learner.
As Mr. Learner told Crain’s Chicago Business, “We haven’t had a chair for awhile that’s really been a Chicagoan. Manny Flores is an alderman from the city of Chicago who thinks about stuff like, ‘What’s the impact of something on my neighborhood?’ The ICC makes fundamental decisions that affect people’s pocketbooks and daily lives.”
