Strickland appoints Steven Lesser as PUCO commissioner
Steven Lesser, currently chief of staff at the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, has been appointed a PUCO commissioner by Gov. Ted Strickland.
Ellis Jacobs, a senior attorney for Advocates for Basic Legal Equality in Dayton, was among the four candidates - including Lesser - that a nominating committee had sent Strickland to consider.
The commissioners serve five-year terms and regulate gas, telephone and electric utilities. His salary will be $119,995 a year, Strickland’s office said.
Lesser, of Bexley, a Columbus suburb, has been PUCO chief of staff since September 2007.
“Steven has served the PUCO in numerous capacities for the past 30 years,” Strickland said in a press release. “He is well regarded by his colleagues and he understands the issues facing utilities and customers in Ohio.”
