RICHMOND - When Richmond General District Judge David Hicks appeared before a General Assembly committee this month seeking reappointment to the bench, he had an unusual connection to one of the lawmakers conducting the review.
State Sen. Joseph D. Morrissey, D-Richmond, had just appeared in Hicks courtroom the week before - not as a lawyer, but as a defendant in a misdemeanor criminal case. Now Morrissey was the one wielding power.
Dive Brief:
Federal Energy Regulatory Commissioner Allison Clements made clear during her first meeting on the commission that climate change will play a role in her decision making.
Though FERC s obligation to ensure just and reasonable rates and avoid unfair discrimination has not changed, the factors influencing consideration of these legal standards in each instance have become significantly more numerous and complex over the past few decades, she said during Thursday s open meeting. These factors also include the grave threat of climate change, said Clements. The Democratic appointee was confirmed to FERC earlier this month.
Commissioner Richard Glick, a fellow Democratic appointee, has long pushed the commission to take a similar approach to regulation, and Commissioner Neil Chatterjee, a Republican appointee, has also signaled he s willing to look at carbon mitigation where appropriate, including through carbon pricing.
