CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) -- Gov. Joe Manchin is naming a new commissioner of the three-member West Virginia Public Service Commission.

Manchin on Friday named Ryan Palmer of Kanawha County to succeed Ed Staats on the regulatory panel.

Staats completed his term at the commission June of last year but agreed to continue to serve until the governor selected a replacement. Palmer will start his term July 1.

The commission supervises and regulates the rates, services, operations and most other activities of all public utilities in West Virginia.

Palmer has served as deputy general counsel to the governor since 2008 after spending five years in Washington, D.C. as an attorney for the United States International Trade Commission.

I personally know Ryan Palmer. Let me tell you he is on OUR side. He'll do what's right for the people and not be a "yes man" for these utility companys.

Why didn't he appoint a Fireman or a E.M.S. worker?
