Willie Phillips
This is rare, but this is one time we have a substantial difference of opinion with the Trump administration. According to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) Commissioner Willie Phillips, whose current term was set to expire in June (less than two months from now), the administration asked him to step down effective immediately. He has done so. Yes, Phillips is a Democrat, but he's not a mindless leftist reactionary like the other two FERC Democrat commissioners who take their orders from the radical left. Phillips stood up for common sense. He approved many gas pipeline projects during his tenure, unlike his Democrat counterparts. He was a different kind of Dem. We respected and even liked him. And now he's gone, leaving the commission split 2-2 until Trump appoints a new Republican commissioner to fill the post.
