[QUOTE="Hobbes, post: 2804656, member: 3371"] Long story short: In 1989 southwestern bell filed for a rate increase and it passed the corporation commission by a 2-1 vote. Subsequently, one of the commissioners ( Bob Hopkins ) and a southwestern bell attorney were convicted of bribery in the case. Now, a lawsuit has been filed to return 14 billion dollars to ratepayers on the argument that the 2-1 was invalid because the bribed vote of Hopkins was illegal so the legal vote was 1-1 and the rate increase was not approved by the CC. AT&T, then SW Bell, argues against the lawsuit and AG Scott Pruitt sides with AT&T before the Oklahoma Supreme Court.
