RCRC Recognizes CPUC Commissioner Sandoval

This week, RCRC President and CEO Greg Norton sent a letter of recognition to former California Public Utilities Commissioner Katherine Sandoval in appreciation of her leadership in rural telecommunication issues.  Commissioner Sandoval was not reappointed by Governor Brown in December 2016. 

In the six years she served as a Commissioner at the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), Commissioner Sandoval confronted many telecommunication issues that plague rural counties, including lack of broadband connectivity, and lack of reliable telephone service.  Additionally, Commissioner Sandoval held several town hall meetings in RCRC member counties to receive input from community members on telecommunication service provider concerns. 

Two new Commissioners have been appointed to the CPUC, Martha Guzman Aceves and Cliff Rechtschaffen, both former Governor Brown advisors.  RCRC will continue to work with the Legislature and the CPUC to address telecommunications issues facing our communities.
