PSC Names Karen Wilson as Legislative Director 

Karen Wilson, a 22-year employee of Kentucky state government, has joined the staff of the Kentucky Public Service Commission as its legislative liaison and executive advisor to the commissioners.

Wilson most recently served a policy advisor in the Department of Energy Policy in the Energy and Environment Cabinet (EEC). She previously held several other posts in EEC and also worked in the Governor’s Office of Energy Policy.

“With her extensive experience and knowledge, Karen will be an effective liaison between the PSC and the Kentucky General Assembly,” PSC Chairman Michael Schmitt said. “This is a time of rapid change in the energy sector, and we are fortunate to have someone like Karen to both advise the commission and provide information to legislators.”

PSC Executive Director Gwen Pinson, who also has extensive experience in state government, said that Wilson has earned a reputation within the commonwealth as someone with a deep understanding of energy policy.

“Karen will be a tremendous asset to the PSC,” Pinson said. “Through her work in energy policy, she is already well known and well respected throughout state government, and will have an immediate positive impact.”

The PSC is an independent agency attached for administrative purposes to the Energy and Environment Cabinet. It regulates more than 1,100 gas, water, sewer, electric and telecommunication utilities operating in Kentucky.

“I have interacted with the PSC many times through my previous work,” Wilson said. “I know from personal experience that the PSC’s reputation as one of the most capable agencies in state government is well deserved, and I am thrilled to be a part of this organization.”

McCain to be named Covington Public Works supervisor

McCain

Covington will soon have a new supervisor to oversee street sweeping, leaf collection, mowing, and other responsibilities in the Public Works Department’s General Maintenance Division – and he’s a familiar face.

Troy McCain is set to be approved as part of the consent agenda at the Covington City Commission’s meeting Tuesday night.

McCain will replace Mike Whatley, who retired in July after over 30 years with the City, including 10 years as the General Maintenance supervisor.

McCain has been acting as interim supervisor since Whatley’s departure. He began working for the City as a seasonal worker in 1995, became a full-time employee two years later, and for the past 17 years has been a light-equipment operator.

“Troy is certainly a very dedicated and skilled employee,” Public Works Director Rick Davis told the Commission at its caucus meeting last week. “He’s a great asset to our Public Works management team.”

Public Works had 43 applications for the supervisor’s position, Davis said.

The General Maintenance Division – which is responsible for maintaining Covington’s public infrastructure – is one of eight divisions in the Public Works Department. Its responsibilities include street cleaning, snow removal, green space and alley maintenance, graffiti abatement, as well as special area litter control and fall leaf collection.
