LTE-In support of Tranel for Public Service Commission

I'm writing to express support for Monica Tranel for Public Service Commission.

As her website explains, Tranel has considerable and successful legal experience defending Montana's utility rate-payers from needless rate hikes.

She understands the importance of using natural resources for Montana's citizens rather than simply exploiting resources for profit.

Further, while she runs as a Democrat, she was once encouraged to run by a former PS commissioner (a friend of mine, now deceased) who was a lifelong conservative Republican.

Thus, Tranel's technical expertise and political neutrality are the best possible mix for those who worry about what value they're getting for their utility bills.
