Board Member Wagner indicated during the Iowa Utilities Board Deliberation of February 11, 2016 that he was resistant to the recognition of Climate Change because of his fear that it would damage his ability to be successful in running for political office. The issue of Climate Change has been raised by multiple parties in this hearing process. It was designated as an issue by the board in their outline for hearing briefs. It is a critical issue for the future of our environment. Public officials are expected to be fair and impartial in their decisions regarding the public trust. Mr. Wagner has indicated that he cannot meet this standard. Therefore intervenor Kriss Wells respectfully demands that board member Wagner recuse himself from this proceeding.
