Valuable Qualification

Share via

The letter by Pacific Enterprises Chief Executive Paul A. Miller (“Southern California Gas Co. Is Proud of Stock Ownership Plan for Workers,” April 23) responding to Bernstein’s labor column concluded that Sam Weinstein was “less qualified than other nominees for the board.” I am not an employee of Southern California Gas or Pacific Enterprises, but I am a shareholder and I know Weinstein.

Weinstein has worked for the gas company. In my opinion, this is an incredibly valuable qualification for a person who wants to serve on the board of directors that governs the nation’s largest gas company.

Weinstein is one of the hardest-working people I know. He also would bring a different perspective to the board of directors. If the other board members listen to his ideas, they may agree with his approach. If not, the directors with whom Miller feels comfortable can out-vote Weinstein.

I hope shareholders will allow him to make a contribution to the board.
