Is Richard Glick about to leave FERC?
FERC Chair Richard Glick recused himself from a major clean energy order this week, signaling he may be leaving his position at the regulatory agency. Former commissioners and agency officials have told POLITICO that the recusal could be driven by a desire to avoid conflicts of interest with potential future endeavors. Glick was renominated to FERC by President Joe Biden after his term expired in June, but has not received a Senate hearing amid opposition from Sen. Joe Manchin. POLITICO\u2019s Josh Siegel and Catherine Morehouse discuss the recusal, the possibility of Manchin changing his mind and how other Democrats are reacting to a potential FERC split. Plus, a New Jersey town received the first grant from a new FEMA program to reduce flood risk.
