A Senate committee with jurisdiction over the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has scheduled a hearing on Oct. 22 to consider President Donald Trump’s nominations to the TVA Board, Knox News reports. The board of the nation’s largest public utility has been unable to conduct regular business for more than six months. The hearing will consider four of the five nominees: Arthur Graham, Mitch Graves, Jeff Hagood and Randall Jones. A fifth nominee, Lee Beaman, was not included in a Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works news release announcing the hearing. A favorable report from the committee would set the stage for a full Senate vote.
