Commentary: An open letter to Public Service Commissioner Julie Fedorchak


Dear Julie,
I think you’re a great public servant. I’m glad you’re on the Public Service Commission. It pleased me when it was reported that you might be interested in seeking a seat in Congress at some point, including possibly challenging Senator Heidi Heitkamp this cycle.
But we need to talk.
Here in North Dakota we harbor a skepticism of government regulation that is almost cultural in its pervasiveness. While we support rules, and want to see those rules enforced, we also have little patience for regulators who get too big for their britches.
Which brings me to some of your recent comments.
