Clyburn Nominated For FCC Post

From CongressDaily's AM Edition...

mclyburn.jpgPresident Obama announced Wednesday he is nominating Mignon Clyburn, a state regulator in South Carolina and daughter of House Majority Whip James Clyburn for a Democratic seat on the five-member FCC. The younger Clyburn, whose nomination has been anticipated for weeks, has been a member of the South Carolina Public Service Commission since 1998 and its chairwoman from 2002-2004. The PSC "regulates South Carolina's investor owned public utilities, including providers of telecommunications services," according to a White House statement. She would replace Jonathan Adelstein, who was nominated to head the Rural Utilities Service, an Agriculture Department division that issues loans and grants for telecom, energy and water treatment projects.
