CPUC:State attorney general serves search warrant

Quick Facts

UPDATED: State attorney general serves search warrant, nabs records at CPUC over PG&E probe

Nov 7, 2014, 9:58am PST UPDATED: Nov 7, 2014, 5:33pm PST
Michael Peevey, president of the California Public Utilities Commission, has become entangled in a scandal over back-channel communications with officials at PG&E.
Reporter-San Francisco Business Times
Email  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn
UPDATE: Officials at Pacific Gas & Electric refused to say Nov. 7 whether or not the giant utility has also been served with a search warrant by the State Attorney General's office. Instead, Keith Stephens,PG&E's senior director of business ops and field communications, confirmed only that the company "is cooperating with law enforcement officials." Pressed for a direct response to the question, Stephens repeated the same answer.
The California State Attorney General's office served a search warrant and seized records from the California Public Utilities Commission's San Francisco headquarters Thursday as part of an investigation of potentially illegal "back-channel" email communications between CPUC officials and Pacific Gas & Electric, according to aSan Francisco Chronicle report.
Officials at the CPUC and State Attorney General Kamala Harris' office weren't immediately available for comment early Friday morning. A CPUC spokesman wouldn't confirm or deny the published report, but said at about 9:45 a.m. that the commission might have a public statement about the matter "in about an hour." That was several hours ago.
Nick Pacilio, a spokesman for the State Attorney General's office, told me early Friday afternoon that Harris' office is not commenting on the search warrant situation and, in fact, hasn't "commented on whether or not we're investigating" the CPUC.
The Chronicle account, by Jaxon Van Derbekencites anonymous sources who said the search "netted documents and other data sought under a sealed warrant."
State and federal authorities are investigating the case, which involves so-called ex parte communications between CPUC President Michael Peevey, board member Mike Florio, senior PG&E officials and possibly others. At issue, among other sensitive topics, is an attempt by PG&E officials to have an administrative law judge seen as less likely to rule in the giant utility's favor in a huge rate-setting case replaced with one more amenable to PG&E's arguments.
As noted in the Chronicle article, the state Attorney General's office told the CPUC on Sept. 19 it needed to "preserve" any emails and other documents relevant to the case.
PG&E fired thee executives in September after some of the emails were made public, following a demand by the city of San Bruno. The rate case involves more than $1 billion in payments PG&E is seeking from its customers to help pay for gas pipeline improvements in the wake of the September 2010 gas-line explosion and fire that devastated San Bruno's Crestmoor neighborhood, killed eight people and damaged or destroyed hundreds of homes.
Peevey announced in mid-October he wouldn't seek reappointment as the commission's president. His term expires at year-end. Florio recused himself, also in mid-October, from further involvement in the rate-setting case.
The city of San Bruno is trying to compel the CPUC to release thousands of emails that may shed light on secret communications on the rate case and related issues, and said earlier this week that the commission is advocating changes that "could make it harder to obtain public records" in this case and others.
City officials initially filed a public records act lawsuit that forced the CPUC to make 7,000 pages of documents public, including some that San Bruno officials say "exposed shocking, illegal emails" between commission and PG&E officials.
Tara Kaushik, a San Francisco-based partner at the Holland & Knight law firm who frequently works with the commission, predicted that one way or the other the CPUC is going to make significant changes in how it communicates with stakeholders, meaning companies and organizations it regulates or works with.
"We're going to see big changes in the industry going forward," she said, referring to the type of communications that have put the agency in potential legal hot water.

Follow The Money At the time, the PGT-PG&E pipeline expansion was the largest lump-sum project in Bechtel history: $1.3 billion. In addition to project management, Bechtel was responsible for general contracting services, such as detailed engineering, major procurement, right-of-way acquisition, construction, and startup. Bechtel directed the work of five major subcontractors, each building a spread, or major section. At the height of construction, some 5,000 workers were distributed among the four states traversed by the expansion. One of the project's greatest technical and environmental challenges was installing pipe under three waterways in the Sacramento Delta, an important regional maritime, recreation, and fishery area east of San Francisco. Crossing the Sacramento River near Antioch was the most technically difficult and set a new distance record for large-diameter pipe.

Walnut Creek CA: I've called Consolidated Fire, drove to their offices, wrote letters and called the CHP Unit in Sacramento with details about stonewalling.

Connections

My attorney was Donald Gene Moats who represented me in 2001 but my case was derailed by this fire.  My losses - about 100K as Moats never appeared in court and the case went down the drain quickly. He was disbarred shortly thereafter but I'm wondering if a different reason was the cause.

In 2004 my F-250 Truck was set ablaze on 680 - in 2004 Judge Golub was connected my former family in Danville at 161 Valle Vista Danville.  I told this Judge two critical statements, One that I suspected my truck was arson, that my truck fire was the work of local residents and police officers.  Ten years later this story breaks CNET Scandal I'm being beaten by Gary Collins now Deceased.  Over the 2012/2013 winter I informed Judge Golub more than once that my truck fire was linked to the Piedmont Lumber fire and other local fires.  I suspect the San Mateo Bridge Fire is going to fall into that category.  Broken springs or air shocks - CHP has a credibility problem with me as in 2004 I tried to tell a CHP officer my truck fire was arson.

Ten years later San Ramon Fire District has Pete Amnesia but wait Consolidated Fire can't find this fire.  I've called many times and by now I'm sure my phone is under surveillance - you guys are so pathetic. One of the stalkers from Hillside Covenant Church works at Station One and is friends with the two youth directors who each share responsibility for my 2011 Car accidents. That accident was attempted murder - nothing more nothing less.

A four-alarm fire on the second floor of a Walnut Creek office building early Monday quickly spread and forced fire officials to close down all 16 suites.

 FIRE HITS WALNUT CREEK OFFICES - DOCTORS SAW PATIENTS IN THE PARKING LOT AFTER A 3 A.M. BLAZE CLOSED 16 LEGAL AND MEDICAL SUITES ON YGNACIO VALLEY ROAD

Contra Costa Times (Walnut Creek, CA) - Tuesday, September 25, 2001

Author: JASMINE KRIPALANI, TIMES STAFF WRITER

 No one was injured in the blaze at 1776 Ygnacio Valley Road. The building houses legal and medical offices.

 Fifty firefighters fought the 3:16 a.m. blaze for more than two hours, said Contra Costa Fire District Battalion Chief Steve Maiero.

 "Investigators are trying to pinpoint the exact area of origin," Maiero said. "Part of the roof completely burned through and structural beams were heavily damaged."

Maiero estimated damage would exceed $1 million.

 Dr. Peter Binstock stood just steps away from his office when his patient, Ranella Elder of Antioch, walked up to him in the hours just after the fire . Elder had a 9:45 a.m. appointment.

 "It's odd," Elder said. "I come here and the building's on fire and (my doctor) is actually looking at my finger in the middle of the parking lot."

Binstock, who specializes in infectious diseases, said he wasn't worried about having to relocate.

 "Eighty to 90 percent of our patients are hospital-based," he said.

 Building owner Scot Bergren said it could take at least six months to restore the building, but he hoped a few tenants would be allowed back earlier into suites where the damage wasn't so severe.

 "It's a shame that all these poor tenants and patients are being inconvenienced," he said. "This is not a great day for anybody. We'll just make the best of it and move forward."

 Frances Wymore, a legal secretary at the law offices of Mark P. Grundman, is one of 65 people who work in the building.

 "I'm waiting for my boss to come and see if he can get us in" said Wymore, of Concord. She spent most of the afternoon in court, then purchased office supplies to replace the damaged ones inside.

Legal trouble appears to be mounting for Michael Peevey, the outgoing president of the California Public Utilities Commission. An NBC Bay Area investigation has uncovered apparent violations of state law at the commission, even as Peevey is under fire for his overly cozy relationship with Pacific Gas & Electric Company, and under investigation by the U.S. Attorney and the state attorney general.

The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has confirmed Peevey failed to file required disclosure forms for hundreds of thousands of dollars he successfully requested from PG&E, the company he is supposed to regulate. This new revelation begins with aMay 2010 email from Brian Cherry, then vice president of regulatory affairs at PG&E. 
The email details a Memorial Day weekend dinner Cherry had with Peevey where promises were apparently made in exchange for favors. According to the email, the two discussed Proposition 23, a measure that would have suspended the law governing California’s fight against global warming. Peevey wanted it to go down and the email shows he wanted help from PG&E. 
Cherry writes that Peevey “stated very clearly he expects PG&E to step up big” and contribute to a campaign to defeat the proposition. “We need to spend at least $1 million,” Cherry writes, adding, “I asked for clarification and [Peevey] said ‘at least’ doesn’t mean $1 million, it means a lot more.”
“That’s a solicitation, as far as I am concerned,” said Jim Ruane, mayor of San Bruno. “It shows there are backroom dealings going on.” 
Ruane has been critical of the CPUC and PG&E since the utility company’s pipeline exploded in San Bruno in 2010, leaving eight people dead. The CPUC initially refused to release the email. It took the city of San Bruno several months and $200,000 in legal expenses for a judge to force the CPUC to turn over the email and thousands more.
Britt Strottman, the attorney representing the city, said Cherry’s email in particular sends a message that the regulatory environment in California is broken. 
“I think that escalates from the word 'cozy' to 'corrupt,'” Strottman said.
In the email, Cherry also writes that the CPUC expected PG&E to contribute $100,000 to a nonprofit engineered by Peevey to fund the Commission’s 100-year anniversary celebration. Cherry said that Peevey told him he was “on notice.” 
The email suggests an exchange of services. Not only did the email detail what Peevey wanted, it also appears to outline what PG&E needed.
Cherry writes “[Peevey] is aware that we are looking for a good GRC [General Rate Case] decision,” referring to PG&E’s proposed 20 percent rate increase for its customers. The email went on to say that Peevey said to “expect a decision in January [2011]—around the same time of the PUC’s 100th Anniversary celebration. I told him I got the message.” 
“To me that shows, 'You do me a favor, I’ll do you a favor,'” Strottman said. “'Let’s scratch each other’s backs.'” 
Loretta Lynch, the former CPUC president, said the email crosses the line. 
“You cannot say, 'Please pay for my dinner, please pay for my party and please pay for the initiative I like' in exchange for favorable treatment from my state appointment,” Lynch said.
Campaign disclosure forms obtained by NBC Bay Area show PG&E contributed at least $650,000 to the campaign to defeat Proposition 23—the campaign Peevey suggested. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, PG&E spent at least $20,000 supporting the commission’s January 2011 anniversary celebration at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in San Francisco. PG&E declined requests by the NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit to confirm the amount the utility gave to the CPUC’s party.
After the anniversary celebration, Peevey apparently went to bat for PG&E’s move for a rate increase. In a May 2011 email, Cherry asked CPUC commissioners to vote in favor of a proposal Peevey had written supporting a rate increase. “We encourage you to approve the…decision proposed by president Peevey,” Cherry wrote. 
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has confirmed that Peevey failed to file a state-required disclosure document called a “Form 803” detailing “behested payments” or successful requests for money from PG&E. California Form 803 is designed to let the public know when a commissioner requests money for legislative, governmental or charitable purposes. The state’s Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) has confirmed Peevey did not disclose the $20,000 PG&E paid for the CPUC 100-year anniversary party or the $650,000 PG&E donated to Peevey’s state campaign of choice — in this case, the campaign to defeat Proposition 23. 
“Not disclosing that, not making that information available to the public, I think that’s a huge problem,” said Sarah Swanbeck, policy and legislative affairs officer for the government watchdog group California Common Cause
The FPPC has joined the U.S. Attorney and California attorney general in investigating Peevey and the email. A failure to file the required Form 803 with the state can be punishable as a misdemeanor, including a fine and removal from office. 
Peevey has declined multiple requests for an interview, but last month announced that he will not seek another term. His last day as CPUC president is December 31. 
“I don’t believe he has said anything publically about this at all,” Ruane said. “He just seems to continue feeling that business as usual is going to be accepted. And we won’t stand for it.” 
Lynch said the CPUC has stopped regulating and instead is a “lapdog of the regulated utilities. The system doesn’t work that way. It’s clearly broken and it’s time to fix it.” 
PG&E fired Cherry and two other PG&E executives for what the utility called inappropriate email exchanges with the CPUC. Requests for interviews with PG&E and Cherry have been declined.
