Snitchler named PUCO chair
Gov. John Kasich picked state Rep. Todd Snitchler, R-Uniontown, to replace Alan Schriber as chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio.
Snitchler, an attorney since 2003, has served on the Ohio House Public Utilities Committee since joining the General Assembly in 2009.
Schriber led the 400-employee PUCO for nearly 18 years before announcing his retirement in November. Schriber served as chairman 1983 to 1989 and rejoined the commission in 1999.
The PUCO regulates electric, natural gas, telecommunications, water, and commercial transportation in the state.
Snitchler’s salary, which has not yet been set by Kasich, will be in the range of $73,715 and $157,955. If his appointment is confirmed by the Ohio Senate, Snitchler will serve the remaining three years on Schriber’s term.
