Boys will be boys. | C-SPAN

June 7, 2024

Apparently it was “bring your kid to work day” for members of the House of Representatives on Monday, and Rep. John Rose (R-Tenn.) got pretty much what one would expect from his son.

Rose was delivering a speech on the House floor with his 6-year-old son, Guy, sitting behind him. It didn’t take long for the little boy to do little boy things after discovering the camera, as Guy proceeded to smile and make funny faces behind his father’s back as Rose read his remarks. Fortunately for Rose, the boy seemed to reel it in after a minute or two. I’d say the “just ignore him and he will stop” method worked well in this case. He didn’t even need one of these looks to settle down. 

Now, you can make all the funny faces you want while reading this RTO Insider news. We won’t mind.

• The growing footprint of CAISO’s Extended Day-Ahead Market was a critical factor in NV Energy’s decision to join it rather than the competing Markets+ offering from SPP, the utility said in a filing with the Nevada PUC. Elaine Goodman reports.
