The bounty of Arizona
Here are a couple I've always likes, being an Arizona native and all. You can make instant sun tea in Arizona. In Arizona your biggest bicycle wreck fear is, "What if I get knocked out and end up lying on the pavement and cook to death?— September 24, 2014 1:19 p.m.
The bounty of Arizona
Dear Tamar Fleishman, If you are going to visit a place and then write about how you enjoyed it, I would recommend a couple of things. First, try providing your own description instead of taking one right from it's promotional material: "an enterprise of the Pascua Yaqui tribe". Seriously, it seems that you could have come up with something of your own. And second, when talking about a place that you enjoyed visiting, it is always helpful when you spell it correctly. It is TUCSON, not Tuscon.— September 24, 2014 1:09 p.m.
Border-closure protest goes nowhere
So I guess that means you're in favor of just ignoring the 14th Amendment?— September 24, 2014 9:46 a.m.
Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
captd/founder I would be interested in seeing some of those "successful resolutions", as you call them. Do you have a link? It would be interesting to see, given recent events. The reason I ask is because as an ALJ at the PUC, she really doesn't "resolve" anything, successfully or otherwise. In fact, she has practically no power whatsoever. Her job is to preside over proceedings at the PUC and come up with proposed rulings for a final decision by the five commissioners. BTW, the PUC phone directory already lists her as an administrative law judge. I find it interesting that no one here seems to have noticed that Brown actually did not leave the agency, but is only on temporary, and from what I read paid, leave. She merely resigned her position as Peevey's CoS.— September 24, 2014 9:44 a.m.

I'm not sticking up for either turn or Florio. Obviously, Florio's claim he was unaware of the rules against informal communications with utilities is totally bullsh!t, even if it was coming from someone who WASN'T one of their lead attorneys for 30+ yrs. That being said, the proposition that Florio wrote was on the 1998 ballot, 16 yrs ago and would have been a good thing. Florio was not party to TURN's participation in the San Onofre debacle. He's now doing his damage from the other side of the equation. But from what I have read over the last few months, it seems he was effective while at TURN, before going to the dark side. It's interesting that so many people coming from independent agencies that advocate for the consumer have come to the PUC, an agency who's mission is to "serve the public's interest", where they actually have the ability to make changes, and end up doing just the opposite. On a different note, the CCPF has been a supporter of TURN for over a decade. I am curious what they think about some of TURN's latest efforts, or lack there of. By the way, I would like to take this opportunity to remind you I have been saying since I began posting here just over a year ago, that all of the commissioners have performed horribly, doing nothing to show the are on the side of the consumer. I believe that my opinion has proven to be correct.— September 20, 2014 8:41 a.m.
Chief of staff at CPUC resigns
captd/founder I doubt that Carol Brown will be going to PG&E, or any place else for that matter. She already has another profession, as an administrative law judge. In fact, and I'm surprised that don bauder has not mentioned this, before assuming the position as Peevey's CoS, she was an administrative law judge for the CPUC. Sources within the CPUC have said that when she returns from leave, she will probably return to her old job at the commission - administrative law judge - and retain her salary, of $120k.— September 19, 2014 8:05 p.m.

mikeknell I believe you'll find that the Attorney General also serves as chief counsel to state officers and, with a few exceptions, to state agencies, boards and commissions in state litigation. However, I believe that the AG can both investigate and prosecute CPUC employees, much as the USAG can due the same with federal agencies In fact, yesterday several politicians called for the AG's office to start an investigation into the CPUC and AG's office spokesman said the situation is under review.— September 19, 2014 7:58 p.m.
