List Of PSC Applicants To Be Whittled; Escambia’s Murzin Among The Hopefuls

July 17, 2014

A state panel will meet July 31 to decide which candidates to interview for two spots on the Florida Public Service Commission.

The terms of commissioners Eduardo Balbis and Julie Brown expire in January, which will lead to Gov. Rick Scott making appointments later this year. Brown is seeking another four-year term on the commission that regulates utilities, while Balbis did not re-apply.

The Florida Public Service Commission Nominating Council, which makes recommendations to Scott, is considering a list of 32 applicants, including state Rep. Jimmy Patronis, R-Panama City, and former Rep. Dave Murzin, R-Pensacola. Murzin now works as an aide to state Sen. Greg Evers, R-Baker.

The council will meet July 31 in Orlando to designate a list of the “most qualified” applicants that it will interview, according to a notice released Monday.

The News Service of Florida contributed to this report.
