Note: I’ll hold a Substack Chat from 11:00 - 11:45 CT today to answer any questions you might have and to share updates about the PUC Open Meeting. I had previously announced a start time of 10:00 but the PUC meeting starts at 11:00 CT. Feel free to drop questions in the chat ahead of time. Also, if you haven’t gotten to read it yet, my article “A Time for Choosing” now has a voiceover. Click to listen through Substack or find in your favorite podcast app.
