Last Baldacci Appointee to Maine PUC Finishes Term

AUGUSTA -- The last of the regulators appointed by Gov. John Baldacci to the Maine Public Utilities Commission closed out his last meeting with the panel Wednesday.

Commissioner David Littell said that, while he did not always agree with his fellow commissioners appointed by Gov. Paul LePage, he had enjoyed his five years on the panel.

"It's been a real pleasure working here for almost five years, working with the staff - you work extraordinarily hard on very difficult issues, as we've illustrated today - and with my colleagues," Littell said. "We obviously have professional views that differ, and while you wouldn't know it, personally we get along very well - as long as we don't talk about the cases."

Littell is a former commissioner of the Maine Department of Environmental Protection and a partner with the Pierce, Atwood law firm.

LePage has chosen R. Bruce Williamson, an economist from the University of Tennessee Institute for Nuclear Security, to fill Littell's seat on the commission.
