so nixon was looking to replace black, but he certainly -- he was hoping he could keep harlan becausehe really liked harlin, but he was also inclined and have a lot of issues. so by this time, nixon attorney general mitchell have decided to take this thing over themselves. they can't run the risk of it got another important job for rehnquist at this point, with these two vacancies, wishes he is supposed to be running a committee to declassify documents and nixon and his diabolical authors, and rehnquist i'm sure doesn't know this, but with the white house tapes came out later, turns the reason he was rehnquist to do this is because he believes that he can get these documents declassified, he can use them to bang the image of the kennedy family, particularly bob kennedy and share k. and even ted kennedy, who he sees as a potential rival in the coming election. so the declassification of documents, nixon once rehnquist to handle so he can the documents out. when it turns that rehnquist isn't going fast enough, nixon and his other folks the later discredited watergate decide they're goin

>> harlan kelly, general manager, so it's about $6 per month versus 11-dollar premium that we have equivalent to $6. >> yes, and that's for -- that's reflective for the cost difference between providing a renewable energy credit versus firmed and shaped renewable power, so it's the product difference that is embedded in that price difference which goes to commissioner olague's statement that people need to understand the value behind what the price premium is addressing. >> and credit that pg&e can purchase rather than generate the clean power themselves . correct. >> correct. >> and we limit that component to 5% of the overall portfolio. >> thank you. commissioner moran any other? >> no. >> commissioner vietor. >> yes, i had a follow up with that. with the code of kukd and the script and how we talk about the cleanpower sf and the pg&e offering and i don't know if that is sort of -- you talked about that internally i imagine but i think that would be a very important part of the roll out plan and the outreach plan is when that pg&e offering does come online how it will be talked about to the

and, so, ivy and i and harlan need to work together to investigate this further and we can advise you what your options are. >> well, our options are, number one, the existing law, is it not? the prevailing wage? >> compliance with the law is existing, but in terms of what your options with respect to whether or not you can anticipate that this contractor would again breach that requirement, what your remedy is for their action. >> right now you have to research the law to see what the remedy is? >> right. what your options are in terms of precluding them from bidding on your contracts in the future. i mean, you'd essentially be excluding them or finding them to be less qualified because of this prior error. and i can't tell you without investigating the circumstances to know what limitation you can put on their ability to bid on city contracts. >> my comment is if you're violating the law, you shouldn't benefit? >> if you are found to have violated the law previously, it doesn't mean that you're necessarily automatically precluded from bidding on other public works. >> [speaker not u

others including labor expert harlan shaken says otherwise. >> what's often overlooked is things attracting a higher of w benefiting in the bay area because there's more purchasing power in the economy because the working poor spend every penny. >> that was fox' caralu reporting. with the increase to $10.55 an hour, workers in san francisco now make more than $3 above the federal minimum wage which stands at $7.25 an hour. >>> in this morning's health alert, a potential reason why some of us are packing on the pounds. a new study found that fructose can trigger brain changes that may lead to overeating. scientists say the brain doesn't register the feeling of being full after people drink a fructose beverage as it does when simple glucose is consumed. high fructose corn syrup is a sugary substance added to many processed food and beverages. >>> doctors maintain recess is crucial for kids in more ways than one. pediatricians say recess should be a part of every kid's day and never be taken away as a form of punishment. a new study finds that children just like adults need ample time to decom
