including the <b>$3.2 million that was spent in commission races.</b></span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>The utility finally

disclosed the spending late last month after a Democrat who took office

in January joined with other commissioners to demand records</b>.</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">It<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"> also provided details of

$4.1 million in spending to influence its regulators' 2016 election and

nearly<b> $40 million to defeat a citizens' initiative last year that would

renewable sources. </b>APS previously acknowledged those contributions.</span></font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"That was a policy issue

with direct impact on our customers and our business and on Arizona,"

Jenna Rowell, the utility's director of external relations, said of the

2018 spending. "So we got involved in that early, we were up front about

that. In addition to all of the required disclosures, we talked

frequently and openly about why we were getting involved against that

effort."</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Brandt was getting updates

from executives overseeing the company's political efforts in the 2014

<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">Company officials haven't

made Brandt available for interviews. Rowell pointed to a 2014 letter

its long-held policy of not engaging in political races for its

regulators.</font></span>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman">"As you undoubtedly are

aware, the political landscape is changing," now-retired COO Mark

Schiavoni wrote to two commission candidates who inquired about the

utility's 2014 political spending. "Because of the tactics a number of

organizations are employing to misrepresent important regulatory issues,

we may need to respond in the future to set the record straight on

issues of importance to Arizona, our customers and our company."</font>

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>One group that received

funding from the utility also spent $704,000 in the 2014 secretary of

<font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">The FBI and U.S. Attorney's

Secretary of State and for positions on the ACC (Arizona Corporation

Commission)."</span></font>

certain 2014 statewide races remains ongoing, though it declined to

provide details. The U.S. Attorney's Office declined to say whether a

was faced with a growing rooftop solar industry and consumers' embrace

of solar panels that could cut their power use — and the utility's

profits. APS wanted commissioners to lower the amount it had to pay for

power rooftop solar customers sent back to its utility grid. The

commission ultimately did lower that payout for future solar

installations.</span></font></p><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">

would have been fair," Parker said. "Any issue that would have been

raised, I would have asked, 'What does this mean to our ratepayers?'"</font>

By then it had become an electric and natural gas utility fueled 94.4% by coal plants, 5.2% by natural gas, and 0.4% by oil. The company traded its common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, and in 1976, the company issued a preferred stock with a 10.5% dividend, callable in 1990.<sup id="cite_ref-stockguide_15-0" class="reference" style=" line-height: 1em; unicode-bidi: -webkit-isolate; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;"><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Pinnacle_West_Capital#cite_note-stockguide-15" style="text-decoration: none; white-space: nowrap; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0) none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">[15]</a></sup></font>
