# Office of the Arkansas Attorney General The Office of the Arkansas Attorney General — Attorney General Tim Griffin — intervenes in utility rate proceedings before the [[Arkansas Public Service Commission]] as a statutory advocate for ratepayers, challenging utility cost claims on behalf of the captive customers who cannot choose their provider. ## People - [[Greg R. Meyer]] — consultant with Brubaker & Associates, Inc., retained as the Attorney General's expert witness. ## Roles in this corpus - In the GAJA rider docket (26-008-TF), the Attorney General filed [[Attorney General Testimony on the GAJA Rider|direct testimony]] arguing that Entergy Arkansas used an unreasonably low short-term-debt balance and so overstated the return charged to customers on $1.24 billion of construction-in-progress. **Disposition:** the recommendation was rejected by [[Order No. 7 Approving the GAJA Annual Update]] (2026-06-04) for lack of Act 373 authority over EAL's capital structure (§ 23-4-1304(m)) — the Commission expressly stating it "shares the concerns of Mr. Meyer" while finding the docket "the inappropriate forum" to address capital structure. ## Notes The Attorney General is the ratepayer-advocate counterweight in APSC dockets. In contesting the GAJA rider it disputed the financing method, not the allocation of the new-generation cost across customer classes — it did not argue that data-center load should bear the cost.
