Braulio Baez will become vacant at year’s end, when their terms expire. The 3rd vacant seat belonged to Comr. Charles Davidson, who resigned last month. These are the first PSC vacancies to be filled under rules adopted this year. The oversight panel will winnow the 18 semi-finalists to 9 by Sept. 15, with 3 finalists for each vacant seat, from whom Gov. Jeb Bush (R) must pick nominees for the vacancies. The 18 semi-finalists include Comr. Bradley, who sought a 2nd term despite 2002 ethics complaints about him. Still pending, those complained allege Bradley violated state rules by representing a Verizon position regarding a rate change as his own opinion, and by attending a Miami utility regulators’ meeting largely underwritten by regulated companies. Bradley told the nominating council he did nothing improper and they voted 7-1 to put his name on the list of 18 semi-finalists.
