Willie Phillips - FERC Chairman
In November 2021, the U.S. Senate confirmed regulatory lawyer Willie Phillips to serve as a commissioner on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), replacing Neil Chatterjee (see Senate Confirms D.C. Swamp-Dwelling Democrat Lawyer to FERC). When FERC Chairman Richard “Dick” Glick left in January of this year (forced out by Joe Manchin), President Biden named Phillips to take over as Acting Chairman (see Willie Phillips Takes Over as Acting FERC Chairman, Dick Glick Gone). At least, that's what we were told --- that Phillips is just "Acting" Chairman. It turns out Phillips was appointed full Chairman from Day One, and nobody knew about it because the White House kept it a secret.
