***THUR APRIL 5 at 2:00PM & 6:00PM(2 meetings) " PUBLIC PARTICIPATION for 2 HEARINGS REGARDING - PROPOSED WILDFIRE EXPENSE BALANCING ACCOUNT - SAN DIEGO GAS & ELECTRIC COMPANY (APPLICATION NO. 09-08-020) filingID=1193125-11-110830&CIK=86521 ) The CPUC is interested in hearing from you! Your public comments on the above proceeding are important to the CPUC. Two Public Participation Hearings (PPH’s) are scheduled for the location. Customer Service Representatives from SDG&E® will be present at each hearing to assist with individual customer billing and service concerns. A CPUC Administrative Law Judge assigned to this proceeding will be present to listen to and take all public comments on the formal record. CPUC Commissioners may be present; however, this will not constitute a quorum for any formal voting. This facility location is wheelchair-accessible. (REMiNDER: Jon Monday or Mike Aguirre mentioned that SDGE wants to pass along rate increases to the CONSUMER due to claims SDGE had to pay from fires that their own equipment perhaps sparked. This is perhaps, a bit insulting, if true. Perhaps the monies coould be better "clawed back" from Sempra or Edison or SDG&E corporate officers, since their interests are better aligned with ratepayers.

*** SAT APRIL 14 at 6:00 to 9:00PM " Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt Dinner " MEET JOURNALIST CHRIS MOONEY and Author of THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON SCIENCE will be our KEYNOTE Speaker at our 32nd Annual Roosevelt Dinner. " Chris Mooney hit the nail on the head when he wrote: "It often seems there are so many factually wrong claims on the political right that those who make them live in a different reality. So here's an idea: Maybe they actually do." In his newest book, "The Republican Brain," journalist Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments that explain why conservatives oppose new ideas and refuse to let facts affect their beliefs. We are pleased to welcome him to San Diego in just over two weeks as the keynote speaker for this year's Roosevelt Dinner! RSVP today to reserve your seat:
www.sddemocrats.org/dinner We'll also be honoring individuals and organizations who have made tremendous contributions to our Democratic community, including Mickey Foster (Making a Difference Award); Lori Kern-Greenberg (Volunteer of the Year); Phil Hanneman (Leadership Award); the Pacific Beach Democratic Club (Club of the Year); Assemblymember Ben Hueso (Legislator of the Year); and Eric Banks, Marilee McLean, Carlos Marquez, and the American Federation of Teachers Local 1931 (Chair's Awards). The early-bird rate of $95 per ticket is only available for a few more days, so be sure to sign up now. As the largest annual fundraiser to help our County Party elect candidates up and down the ticket in 2012, the Roosevelt Dinner is a great way for you to support Democrats while enjoying a memorable evening among friends.
