Clark should stay on PSC
Tony Clark, the incumbent president of the North Dakota Public Service Commission, displays an impressive amount of knowledge about the entities and industries the commission deals with or is charged with regulating.
The Tribune's opinion is that North Dakota voters would do well to re-elect him in November.Clark's knowledge of telecommunications public policy is recognized nationally. But he can as easily talk about the progress made in the reclamation of land mined for coal. He becomes animated in speaking about the need for upgrading the electrical transmission infrastructure, so necessary for the future health of an important industry in the state, power generation.
He admits readily that there has been a great deal he's needed to learn in his more than five years as a commissioner - after all, how many of us need to know the requirements for licensing auctioneers as a prerequisite to qualifying for our jobs?
It wasn't as if he came to the position lacking a breadth of experience in public service. He served in the Legislature and had responsible positions in the state's executive branch.
