Fate of two PUC members up in the air

CARSON CITY -- Gov. Kenny Guinn said Monday he has not decided whether to reappoint state Public Utilities Commissioner Michael Pitlock when his term expires at the end of this month.

Guinn also declined to say whether he wants Commissioner Judy Sheldrew to resign. He demoted her from chairwoman of the three-member commission earlier. Guinn's Chief of Staff Pete Ernaut said the administration has "been talking to her," but there have been no decisions.

Guinn was questioned about the commissioners during a news conference in which he unveiled a plan to study state spending and revenue and said he opposed petition drives to raise gaming and business taxes.
