Tom Carper: “Our job in this Committee is to do oversight.”

To have vacancies that may be not just months, but in some cases years to that have been filled, that justice delayed is justice denied.

I think the greatest way that the Commission can have an impact on that is probably through our rate-making authority.

For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.
