Public Service Commission President Brad Molnar is under investigation for alleged workplace misconduct.

Molnar admits his style may not be to everybody’s liking, but says the investigation is a frivolous waste of taxpayer money and believes Commissioner Fielder’s request to the Governor is without merit and illegal.
Meanwhile, the agency is unpacking a new merger proposal by NorthWestern Energy and Black Hills Energy that will impact thousands of rate payers in Montana.
