The theme for Wednesday's “Mornings unPHILtered” show was twofold: the costs of energy and making music. Host Phil Boyum first welcomed guest Tim Echols, who is one of four Republicans running for the Public Service Commissioner's seat, to the show to talk about the costs of peoples monthly utility bills and using alternative sources of energy. Echols said he is the only candidate for the office who is not a professional politician, and that if elected, he would not “go to the feeding trough of goodies” offered by lobbyists.
