Political Pressure bends Laws
Washington, D.C. - The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is bowing to political pressure and ignoring evidence that one of the nation's biggest utilities, Southern Company, is using anticompetitive practices in blatant violation of FERC regulations, a FERC investigator and Government Accountability Project (GAP) client charged today. The whistleblower, Rich Heidorn, Jr., today also filed a Whistleblower Protection Act retaliation complaint charging that he has been exiled from the case for challenging the underlying breach of public trust.
The above was cited from, and can be read in full at, the Government Accountability Project at WhistleBlower.Org. Incumbents are responsible for supporting the system that allows these political pressures to bend and break laws for political expedience.

I hope Mr. Heidorn gets all the protection he deserves and the results he's looking for. How the politicians can just stand back and let this stuff happen is beyond me.
