Southern District Mississippi Public Service Commissioner Sam Britton spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at the Club’s May 22, 2018, meeting. Mr. Britton spoke primarily about the role of the Public Service Commission regulating utilities. He briefly spoke of the failed Kemper County power plant that cost its owner, the Southern Companies, $6.4 billion. In response to a question, Mr. Britton said that what the owner does with the abandoned plant is its business. Since it has invested such a large fortune in it. He also spoke to the No Call telephone lists and the reasons for its need. He said that he expects technology to be developed in the next few years to control this problem, but that the reason the calls exist is that they make money for the perpetrators.
