Lawsuit says PSC’s Echols is blocking critics on social media sites

She said she would run as a Democrat for the Public Service Commission seat now held by Hoschton Republican Tim Echols: now Patty Durand has filed a lawsuit claiming Echols is blocking her and other PSC critics from his social media sites.

Courts put their year’s scheduled PSC election on hold amid a dispute over the at-large method of electing Commission members. That’s a matter that is expected to be addressed by Georgia lawmakers in next year’s session of the Legislature, a session that will begin in January.
