And in at least three cases he's appointed former colleagues from his 28 years working at Duke Energy. That's led some to worry McCrory will follow the same pattern when he turns his attention to four impending vacancies at the North Carolina Utilities Commission, which is Duke Energy's primary regulator in the state. WFAE's Julie Rose takes a look now at this regulatory body McCrory has the opportunity to radically reshape.</p><p><em>CORRECTION APPENDED</em></p><p></p><p> Thu, 10 Jan 2013 14:02:01 +0000 Julie Rose 19153 at http://wfae.org McCrory Could Re-shape NC Utilities Regulation http://wfae.org/post/duke-settlement-restores-merger-equals <p></p><p>When North Carolina utility regulators meet Monday at 10 a.m., they're expected to approve a settlement that resolves their investigation into the sudden firing of Progress CEO Bill Johnson shortly after the company merged with Duke.</p><p>The settlement calls for Duke CEO Jim Rogers to resign by the end of next year.
