It was a bright, crisp winter day when Public Utilities Fortnightly went to Kentucky's capital to meet with the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Despite the snow on the ground, we had a warm welcome inside. PUF met with the PSC's three commissioners and its staff. J.E.B. Pinney is the Acting General Counsel of the Kentucky Public Service Commission. Quang Nguyen and Nancy Vinsel are Assistant General Counsels.
PUF: J.E.B., are you the general counsel for the PSC?
J.E.B. Pinney: I'm the acting general counsel. Our general counsel at the time became a senior legal advisor to the Commission, so he solely advises the Commissioners. I was deputy general counsel at the time, and so I've shifted into the spot. It's been about a year and a half since that move occurred.
PUF: Is that gentleman still a legal advisor to the Commissioner side?
J.E.B. Pinney: He is. He mostly does special projects for the Commissioners.
PUF: What do you do on a typical day?
J.E.B. Pinney: I come in the morning and see what emails and voicemails await me. A lot of it is case management within the Office of General Counsel, to make sure that cases move along. I don't work many cases directly anymore.
