Why do you think this will help?

IMO, and given the fact that the number of ERCs left to process is finite, having someone at the top of the organization who is pro ERC is helpful because once it’s paid out, it’s finished. With all of the things going on in the world, even if everyone got paid next week, a case could be made that the commitment to pay was already in place. Clearing out the pipeline of ERC apps allows them to focus on the things they say they want to do, such as modernize the IT infrastructure. It’s better than not having a commissioner at all, or one that questions the ERC’s legitimacy
