Illinois Commerce Commission Chairman Carrie Zalewski plans to step down just shy of the end of her five-year appointed term, a decision she announced just days before the ComEd federal bribery trial begins.
But Zalewski — whose father-in-law, former Ald. Mike Zalewski , plays a role in the trial but has not been charged — said the federal case had nothing to do with her decision to leave her leadership post at the agency that oversees the state’s utility rates, including those of ComEd.
Carrie Zalewski will step down as chair on June 16. Her five-year term was set to expire on Jan. 15, 2024. She said she opted to leave sooner rather than later — with many docket items scheduled to stack up by the end of the year. Pritzker plans to nominate Doug Scott to replace her as chair, the governor’s office said. A former mayor of Rockford, Scott served as ICC chairman before as well as director of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency. The governor also announced the appointments of Conrad Reddick and Stacey Paradis to the five-person board.
Carrie Zalewski came to the commission from the Illinois Pollution Control Board, where she spent nine years — and has worked in state government for 17 years as an expert in environmental and energy regulation. The governor’s office also said Carrie Zalewski personally reached out to members of Pritzker’s transition team about a position and was discussing a job with the administration prior to Pritzker taking office.
