there's a lot of story lines because you have the kevin green for the green bay packers and daren perry who is the defensive back for the green bay packers. both those guys played for the pittsburgh steelers back when i played there and also dom capers who is defensive coordinator for the packers, he was in pittsburgh when i was there in 192, then he left and then we also have to remember that mike mccarthy, his family's from pittsburgh. so there's a lot of storylines there. i think it's going to be a great game because you have two of the best defense notice national football league. tavis: the question is whether or not these are the two best teams, did the two best teams make it to the super bowl this year, do you think? >> a lot of times the records don't indicate who the is the best team, at least in my eyes. i've been saying since probably midseason the green bay packers are the most dangerous team in the n.f.c. i believe that whole heartedly and it's because the defense was playing that much better as the season went on and they have a quarterback who's really hot, really good, a

i represent the san francisco green party and our city. this dovetails on the last point that i have been falling pretty closely governor brown's new appointments to the cpuc and pc. they're pretty exciting. we also need to have a little bit of caution here. they're exciting because they are incredibly strong consumer advocates being appointed. likely, a third one is to come. those same advocates in the past have needed some convincing on cca and sometimes were not that thrilled about it. i was strongly urge staff to individually reach out to all of these new commissioners to make really clear to them how important cca is, not just for the environment, but anyone who knows a lot about cca knows that it will be very good for ratepayers. that is especially in the long term when the revenue comes and for renewable. let's make sure these consumer- oriented commissioners are really aware of the details and importance of cca and to how important it is to us that we want this to happen. it is also important to the competition. thanks. commissione

is also a symbol of that green city and has been for 40 years. it is actually the start of the recycling movement in san francisco in the heart of the recycling system. the park and rec board has been defying the will of the people, has been arrogant, has made their decision behind closed doors. i testified before them at a hearing where more than two to one, people not only passionately but intelligently pointed out why there should not be a community garden there, and the wrecks center should stay -- the rec center should stay. despite the testimony, they voted unanimously to even. the people who spoke against the recycling center were mostly speaking to demonize the homeless. a lot of them did not even say anything about the community garden. they made up lies about owners wafting over to use our stadium, hypodermic needles all over the sidewalk. none of that is true. and basically, this has really been payback by the newsom administration for hanc's support of trying to defeat sit/lie and other anti-homeless measures. >> i'm a 30-year residen

i am here on behalf of the green business manager. they help small and medium-sized businesses go green and improved efficiency. i would like to deliver a practical letter to the yellow pages, but before i do, let me say we are in full support of reducing unnecessary waste in san francisco while helping businesses reach their target audiences more efficiently. phone books provide an important service, but the internet will forever change the way consumers interact with businesses. i believe your industry has experienced temporary myopia caused by interferences in the technology rounds. sources disappeared when cars were introduced and they were no longer an -- horse carriages disappeared when cars were introduced and they were no longer relevant. the same is happening with yellow pages in the digital age. this ordinance is a wake-up call to industry. the status quo cannot continue. embracing this ordinance will propel the transformation necessary for the transformation -- for the industry. change is never easy. you have the added bene

we have added green generation, something we don't have to deal with but we are -- by the green element. the next slide, i did not know the commissioner would be asking this question, but this gives us a brief introduction about how we look at the revenue requirement. if you take the total cost of service of the power enterprise and used to track that by what we get -- and you subtract that by what we get, the revenue set by the budget process and market sales, that leaves a balance to be connected and the general fund. including the sales to the other entities at pg&e, there is a huge subsidy to the general fund. as was mentioned, this is the elephant in the room. that allows the general fund department to be much lower than the pg&e rates. up until about two years ago, this was at -- this has been one success of the commission. there is some precedent for that. i will not go too much into the staff proposal but we want to talk about the seasonal tears. what are the higher tiers. there was more kilowatt hours in the first tier dent in the second. we might heat the air with my gas-fired
