Mark Christie
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Commissioner Mark Christie, who first became a FERC commissioner when appointed by President Trump during his first term, was promoted to become the Chairman of FERC by Trump on Monday. Wow! We never saw that one coming. We didn't even know Trump had FERC on his radar for the first day, let alone the first week or month. Yet he did. Christie replaces Democrat Willie Phillips as Chairman. Phillips, who frankly we liked, was appointed by Joe Biden. Phillips ran afoul of many leftwing Democrats because he sided with the two Republicans on the commission to form a 3-member majority in approving pipeline projects. Phillips will remain as a "regular" commissioner.
