Bill > SC513

This Concurrent Resolution honors the memory and public service of Nielsen Harris Cochran, a former Jackson City Commissioner and a long-serving Mississippi Public Service Commissioner who passed away on December 2, 2019. The resolution acknowledges his distinguished career, which included five consecutive terms on the Public Service Commission from 1984 to 2008, where he was recognized as an innovative utility regulator and played a key role in developing a performance evaluation plan for utility companies. It also notes his earlier service on the Jackson City Commission and his background as a professional baseball player. The Legislature extends its deepest sympathies to his surviving family, including his wife, sons, daughters, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and directs that this resolution be shared with his family, the Jackson City Council, the Mississippi Public Service Commission, and the press.
