Louisiana Public Service Commission
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) is an independent regulatory agency serving the public of Louisiana by managing its public utilities and motor carriers. It is the successor to the Railroad Commission of Louisiana.
Three members of the PSC have been elected governor of Louisiana: Huey Pierce Long, Jr., in 1928, James Houston "Jimmie" Davis in 1944, and John Julian McKeithen in 1964. Another commissioner, Jay Blossman, abandoned the 2003 governor's race when opinion polls showed that he was making little headway. John G. Schwegmann, a New Orleans-area grocery store magnate who was defeated in the 1971 Democratic gubernatorial primary, was thereafter elected to the PSC in the second half of the 1970s.
