Lax Enfocement At The Railroad Commission Should Be No Surprise

BlueDaze is one of the few Texas blogs that has dedicated significant coverage to the Texas Railroad Commission and its public and non-public scandals, including one regarding gas pipeline regulation which played out very prominently in a three-part series by one of the state’s most well-respected television news investigative reporters.
I encourage you to read the series by TXSharon at BlueDaze, linked above. And, when you do, consider this:
In a recent report filed by Railroad Commissioner Michael L. Williams’ campaign PAC with the Texas Ethics Commission, you are hard pressed to find donations that don’t come from oil and gas providers and utility companies, including the Chairman and CEO and Chairman Emeritus of TXU.
And, over the years, Atmos Energy’s political action committees have given thousands of dollars to RRC Chairman Michael L. Williams, and RRC Commissioners Elizabeth Ames Jones and Victor Carrillo.
