Summary: On October 18, 2006, Dana Appling, Director of the Division of Ratepayer Advocates (DRA), met with Cmmr. Peevey in San Francisco. Also present were Rami Kahlon, advisor to Cmmr.

Written materials (attached to the notice) were used. The parties expressed their concern over discounting the PPP surcharge and stated that the Commission does not have legal authority to discount the Public Purpose Program (PPP) Surcharge. The parties warned that if the Commission discounts or creates a separate discounted class for companies that threaten to leave the state, it would set precedent to provide discounts to other consumers that threaten to leave the state, which would lead to substantial decreases in PPP funding. | |
