    During law school, I worked with staff who now leads the merger shop overseeing oil & gas deals. I guarantee our incredible staff is not letting harmful deals through. staff should not become a scapegoat for politicians.

    This plan is especially worrisome given recent changes to our Rules of Practice that fast-track regulation at the expense of public input, objectivity, and a full evidentiary record.
