Timothy Alan Simon: Commissioner with a Past
What a pointless and silly character assassination. There isn't much coming from the CPUC that makes sense - but when a voice of reason peeps through, it usually comes from Simon. The CPUC is certainly anti-customer, but how can you say that the CPUC is pro-utility when it forces asinine regulations and conditions on nearly anything the utilities want to do (see helicopters building sunrise). If the CPUC is pro-anything, it is pro-stupid environmental regulations that cost both utilities and ratepayers a ton. Yet, Simon is typically the voice of reason on that board who recognizes that California's electric bills are among the highest in the nation, but that none of that investment is going to utility infrastructure - it is being used as a de facto tax to fund Sacramento's environmental agenda - and he opposes it (once again, see Sunrise). Basically, this article attacks the CPUC member who is fighting against everything this article says is wrong with the CPUC.— April 27, 2012 8:16 a.m.
