Akron's Lynn Slaby leaving PUCO in April, not seeking second term
COLUMBUS -- Long-time public servant Lynn Slaby will not seek a second term on the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio when his term expires in April.
In a lettr to Gov. John Kasich delivered this morning, Slaby wrote that "after much thought and many prayers, my wife and I believe it is time for me to move on to another adventure in our lives."
A Cuyahoga Falls native, Slaby has served on the commission since April 2012.
Previously, he served as a judge on the Ninth District Court of Appeals. He was the Summit County prosecutor for 14 years and served in the Ohio House of Representatives as well.
Slaby noted the enormity of the challenge commissioner have faced in the last five years as the state moved fully into de-regulating its electric markets while a political storm brewed in the Statehouse about renewable energy and energy efficiency mandates.
