Rod Blago appoints CUB head to run State Utility Board
Its like putting Jessie James in charge of Banks.

Dear Governor,
I am a stockholder in Exelon corporation. I am disabled. I rely on that investment to live on. Your appointment of Cohen has costs us plenty! This man is obviously completely bias and just wants to steal from stockholders. This citizen is very angry with your policies and this appointment. First you attack the Catholic Church at Maryville, then you destroy public education to balance budget, now you steal from retirees and the disabled to score political points. Exelon should be allowed to run its business like any other. We get a whopping 3% dividend despite having build zero emmission highly expensive and regulated up the wazzooo power plants with massive security! Meanwhile stupid utilities in other states HAVE BLACKOUTS IN NY AND SCAMS LIKE IN CALIFORNIA! Exelon is probably the most honest, well run company in the entire nation and YOU ARE SCREWING THEM! Just proves Illinois is a land of politics and bad for business.


-------
Justify the appointment of Marty Cohen to Exelon Stockholders please. Calm the markets which decline 10 percent on this news alone.

1. I sincerely hope
That this is supposed to be satire because if you think the appointment needs to be justified, you are WAY too self-absorbed. You may rely on that investment to live on but Illinois may escape the worst of the price gouging on home heating this year because of this appointment. It's not about screwing any company. It's about keeping YOU from getting screwed this winter.

2. Its about his crappy poll numbers..
Exelon does electricity. Hardly anyone uses that for heating, what a non argument. No, this is about Rod Hack Mobster Blago and the fact that everyone hates him.

I hate him and this is personal now. Worst Governor in Illinois History and that's saying something. You think I'm the only one? Can you say "Primary Challenge"?

3. Marty Cohen is a great choice....
He is pro-consumer vs. the usual pro-business type who get appointed to these jobs.
