twitterReid wants LV lawyer for post
Monday, March 21, 2005 | 11:12 a.m.
U.S. Sen. Harry Reid has recommended Las Vegas attorney Jon Wellinghoff for a vacant Democratic position on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.
Wellinghoff is a partner in the law firm of Beckley Singleton where he specializes in energy and consumer law. He also was Nevada's first consumer advocate.
In July Reid publicly demanded the resignations of FERC Chairman Patrick Wood and Commissioner Nora Mead Brownell, charging that they have failed to protect Nevada consumers from the misdeeds of Enron Corp.
The five-member FERC currently has three Republican commissioners, and no more than that can be from one political party.
