Former People's Counsel Nominated to D.C. PSC

District of Columbia Mayor Vincent Gray has nominated former People's Counsel Elizabeth Noel to the PSC. The Washington Examiner takes an interesting look at what the nomination of an active party previously practicing before the PSC would practically mean, in terms of conflicts and recusals, should the nomination be confirmed. Noel was no longer OPC by the time the PSC opened its formal investigation of POR (which OPC opposes), but has previously advocated for the use of managed portfolios for SOS (FC 1047). On the other hand, the OPC under Noel was also open to re-examining whether a "retail" SOS should be used, rather than a wholesale SOS.
