Who says buying politicians won’t help APS?

APS's $50 million investment in buying various politicians may pay off after all. The commission must dismantle APS's untouchable status in a rigged monopoly system by adopting retail electric competition rules and free the captive ratepayers from the shackles of a monopoly running amok.
