WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Members of the Citizens’ Utility Ratepayer Board are pulling back from proposals they discussed last week to either change the agency’s mission or dissolve it.

On Thursday, Ellen Janoski became chairwoman of CURB. She says the agency should focus on making internal changes to become efficient.

CURB’s main mission is to represent residential and small-business utility customers in Kansas Corporation Commission rate cases.

The Wichita Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/1Idrrjh ) the board last week discussed focusing instead on fighting new federal clean air regulations.

On Thursday, board members said last week’s comments were “hypothetical” discussions about the agency’s effectiveness.

Janoski says it’s not realistic for CURB to take on federal regulations but the agency should educate consumers about the affect of those rules on electric bills.
