Colorado governor Bill Ritter has nominated Matt Baker for a seat on the Colorado PUC, the state agency which regulates utility rates. Matt's a longtime PIRG staffer and former Colorado PIRG director who has most recently been director of our sister organization, Environment Colorado. In 2004, Baker ran the successful and pioneering Amendment 37 ballot campaign to require utilities to dramatically increase use of renewable fuels. Here is the Denver Post story on his nomination.
