The UCC says .... you

With respect to the January 14, 2011, news release from the Indiana Office of Utility Consumer Counselor regarding the acquisition of the City of Indianapolis’ water and wastewater utilities, who exactly runs the Office of the Utility Consumer Counselor? Clearly, they don't represent the consumers. How could they come to the conclusion that it is equitable, reasonable, efficient or prudent to recommend a transfer that obligates the ratepayers to an additional half-billion dollars of debt, not to improve water and sewer systems, which, of course, are both deficient, but to overlay streets and build sidewalks? Yes, they are an advocate; the question is, for whom?
