Guest: Tim Echols, Georgia Public Service Commissioner (District 2)
Host: Alison Shores, Camden County Chamber of Commerce
Episode Overview
In this special bonus episode, Alison Shores welcomes Georgia Public Service Commissioner Tim Echols to the studio for an eye-opening conversation about the true cost of energy, why rates rise, and how Georgia ensures grid reliability.

Beyond energy, Echols discusses his advocacy against human trafficking, earning him the nickname “The Batman Commissioner.”
