Consumer Groups
——————————-
On June 25, 2012, a hearing was held on the matter at the CPUC, click here to read the transcript, which includes allegations that the CPUC may also have been involved, as unreported meetings were held on numerous occasions during that time period between the utility and CPUC. Even though we understand that this was a public meeting, the CPUC administrative law judge in charge prevented it from being filmed. CEP believes this is a violation of applicable law.
