12/18 Protest Systemic Corruption At California PUC-Jail Peevey and Crooks At CPUC And Public Worker Control Of Utilities Thursday December 18, 2014 8:30 AM CPUC Van Ness And McAllister San Francisco Press Conference And Speak-Out December 18, 2014 is the last day that the chair of the California Public Utility Commission CPUC will hold office. He has decided to resign due to protests and pressure because of his criminal collusion with PG&E, SCE and other utilities which he and the appointed CPUC board are supposed to regulate. They have allowed the utilities to get away with murder and fraud and retaliation against health and safety whistleblowers. They have covered up the dangerous nuclear plant problems at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon and criminal malfeasance that let to explosions at San Bruno and other locations throughout California. They have also allowed the installation of so called smart meters that have harmed and injured the people of California and forced the ratepayers to pay for these meters while laying off utility workers. Governor Brown who appoints these CPUC board members is also a shill for the utilities and has said that Peevey is doing a good job. The time is not to criminally prosecute Peevey and other members of the board who have illegally colluded with the utilities and other members of the management who have represented the interests of those utilities that they are supposed to regulate. We also support public/worker/community control of PG&E and SCE and an elected board at the CPUC. Any other nominees by Governor Brown will continue his corrupt record of doing damage control for Peevey and the utilities that they are supposed to regulate for the public and all working people in California.

Protest the CPUC’s proposed decisions in the ‘smart’ meter opt out proceedings. Show strength in unity against their proposals that: • Ignore serious public safety hazards including toxic injuries, fires, homelessness, violations of privacy, higher bills, loss of meter readers, and no promised energy savings. • Continue to impose coercive extortion opt out fees • Violate laws, and deny customer and disability rights • Prohibit opt-outs for communities, apartment buildings, and businesses • Reward utility companies with millions $$$ more for smart grid failings Join us in demanding that the CPUC: • Reject the proposed decisions • Rescind and refund ‘opt out’ extortion fees • Halt the ‘smart’ meter program Bring any other past or present grievances against the CPUC (toxic dumping, nuclear plants, gas line explosions, accessibility, public power, etc.) We will be raising our demands both outside before the meeting, as well as inside. Please come prepared to make some noise and be seen. Wear black if you can. Rain or shine. For more information about the proposed decisions, go to these links: ALJ Amy Yip-Kikugawa’s Proposed Decision President Michael Peevey’s Alternate Proposed Decision The proposed decisions would (as summarized by the EMF Safety Network): • Give 37 million dollars to the Investor Owned Utilities (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and So Cal Gas) for providing the opt-out program. • Adopt permanent fees for residential customers who “do not wish to have a wireless smart meter.” • Continue the same interim fees of $75 initial fee plus $10/month, and $10 initial fee plus $5/month for low income. • Local governments and multi-unit dwellings may not collectively opt out of smart meter installations. • Charging an opt-out fee does not violate the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). • They will not address health and safety impacts in this decision. • Assess fees on a per location basis, for example if you have two or more meters on your property, that will be one fee, per utility company. • If you have two utilities, they can both charge you fees. • President Peevey proposes putting a cap on the opt-out fees at 3 years. • Neither proposal considers a no-fee option.
