You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the DCP is. Only one oversight action in a decade? I think you’re being overly conspiratorial on this in general.

For example.

> Through its Legal Division, the Department enhanced enforcement of consumer protection laws by effectively resolving issues of concern with persons and establishments it regulates. These initiatives included 191 compliance meetings, 37 formal hearings/administrative complaints, 64 formal hearing decisions, 174 Settlement Agreements, Consent Decrees and Stipulations, 28 Assurances of Voluntary Compliance, 12 subpoenas/civil investigative demands, and 0 Declaratory Ruling were issued.

It’s almost as if western democracies share common values. What a shocker.

It’s not that simple. PURA needs additional powers to make a real difference. They are bound by the limits of their authority, which is not as much as it appears from the outside. The state legislature needs to directly address this issue. The power companies know this and they spend money making sure there is not a majority in the state senate supporting utility reform.

It’s frustrating but the issue is more complex and that’s partly why it hasn’t been solved yet.
