Steve LaPraim, candidate for SD 42, sits down with former Public Service Commissioner and current PSC District 5 candidate David Sanders for a conversation about Montana energy policy, utility regulation, and the role of the Public Service Commission. From the PSC’s history and purpose to the challenges of rising utility costs, aging infrastructure, and changing energy demands, this discussion explores the responsibilities of the commission and the decisions that shape service for Montanans. Sanders shares his perspective on investor-owned utilities, performance-based rate making, data centers, energy reliability, and the importance of building a system that is both forward-looking and affordable. At the heart of the conversation is how Montana can balance modernization, accountability, and the long-term interests of the people who depend on these services every day.
