This resolution confirms Floyd McKissick's appointment to the North Carolina Utilities Commission, a position required by law to be approved by the General Assembly. McKissick will serve the remainder of Charlotte Mitchell's term, which expires June 30, 2029.

Arguments in Favor

Supporters argue that McKissick brings valuable experience and perspective to the Utilities Commission, which oversees energy rates, utility company operations, and consumer protection. They contend that his appointment fills an important vacancy and ensures the commission has a full complement of members to effectively regulate utilities serving North Carolina residents.

Arguments Against

Opponents may argue that the confirmation process lacked sufficient public vetting or that McKissick's background and qualifications do not adequately prepare him for utility regulation. Some may express concern about whether the appointee's views align with specific policy priorities regarding energy costs, renewable energy standards, or consumer protections.
