and we send the mailer out to a sample so residential customers will get this e1 mailer. and we also send sample comparisons to small, medium and large commercial customers. so that the rates are identified there at the bottom line of that first table, identifying what the average monthly bill impact is. so you can see there at the bottom line that the green product is comparable to pg and e service with a little bit of savings and the same goes for super green as compared to solar choice, 100% renewable. on the -- on the table on the right side, is a summary of power content. and you can see the different electricity generation technologies on the left column and then the percentages that -- of those resources included in our -- in the various electricity products. and this is consistent with how we report our product to consumers under state regulations enforced by the california energy commission. and then there's some text there that describes, you know, what customers are looking at in as plain language as possible. so this is the joint rate mailer. they're going out

i don't want to let mailers and employees off the hook. customers of the postal service have expected to maintain the existing levels of service including delivery frequency and mode that existed prior to paba. we have to confront whether verifiable going forward and if so how are we going to pay for it. as far as labor at postal service, employee unions as they're supposed to do actively advocate on behalf of their members and enjoy wages and benefits in excess of comparable compensation in the private sector. we should be thinking about whether that is viable going forward as well. in thinking about what we would like to see out of any future legislation and i have to note that just yesterday the representative introduced a new piece of legislation. i agree with what am sad about the need to really look at universal service and what the country needs from its postal system in the 21st century, and even more importantly how that should be funded. i have great concern that continuing to expect a small number of commercial users and there w

if i run city wide, you're talking about sending mailers to the whole city, needing a lot more money. >> reporter: the city says they are in favor of diversity. >> it's not like san josi where you have 100,000 people in one district. here you have about 20,000 people in each district, and that's pretty small. given the patterns of voting, you don't get all registered voters to vote. >> under the order, residents would cast votes for a mayor and three city council members in november. >>> a barman who claims a popular weed killer gave him cancer takes the stand in his lawsuit against the manufacturer. why he says his pleas for help went ignored. california. this happened in newport beach yesterday morning. police say the driver was attempting to park when she crashed into a nail lounge...and came to a dramatic stop inside the beauty supply store. police said the driver was not injured but one woman was hurt by flying debris. according to investigators, the car was not on autopilot and the driver is likely at fault a former groundskeeper for the benicia school district tells his story i

this is a mailer, but that's something we can put on the webpage, as well. we have three items of communication. we have this flier, which is also a mailer, we have the website, and then, we also have the video, which are sort of a combined thing that -- package that we're going to use to make outreach to not only people along sloat but anyone who comes across one of these new beacons throughout the bay area. we're going to concentrate this campaign to sloat, but it's fungible, it can be expanded to other areas where the crosswalk beacons are installed. so we've covered what we wanted to cover for the pedestrians. and then, if you look here on the signal board, you can see what a driver would see, and that's in the left column. and then, the pedestrians are in the right column. and you know, we went to the added expense of making it color rather than black and white because we want it to be as simple as possible. so pedestrians, drivers, can look at that and see how the signals work. and then, over -- if you look on the left-hand side where it says dark, unl

when his daughter is a nanny got married my mailer went all out to make up for his feelings of having failed as a husband and father. the glamorous wedding was also a farewell to his own personal delusion of a happy family. once again nelson mandela showed great generosity despite his pain he accompanied his wife who held her lover's hand to her trial where she was charged with accessory to murder despite all the evidence he and his lawyer stood by her. insist the fact that she was there was a reason for having done what she did and he was probably the reason that being there by his side it's not the emotional makeup to say such as he was told still being broken. when he had to give us weenie that was the biggest price he is he paid. for liberation. so we turned to the people for solace. despite all the euphoria deliberation process was still fragile. nelson mandela and f.w. de klerk were awarded the nobel peace prize. and finally in april one thousand nine hundred four the first free elections were held. it was south africa's finest hour the clerk was gone one dealer was the new pres

and this is partly based on our discussion last time, we're looking into translating the joint rate mailerd i think that was some feedback that we got. it'll either be a direct translation of that document or some other version of it that'll use that information, so you know, thanks for that input. and then, you know, something -- we talked a little bit about lafco and the executive director's work plan. i know that we'll have some ongoing conversations, but we'd be interested in exploring further opportunities for programming around equity issues and disadvantaged communities, it's something that the p.u.c.'s already working on, but i think this could be another great area of collaboration. and in that convenient, cleanpowersf actually hosted an sf fellows. it's a fellowship program that the city runs, group praj that examined outreach to disadvantaged communities, so we'd love to build on that experience? a few other outreach items. as you're probably aware, the governor's global climate summit will be held in san francisco in september, so we're doing a lot of work around that. for exam

from dorothy parker's description of las 72 suburbs in search of the city to norman mailer's not on the place as a constellation of classics. as late as the 1980s, critics were skeptical of its urban bona fides with one urban theorist calling it not so much a city as a gigantic combo operation of theme parks, a goal for disneyland but even today when the 21st three cities downtown revival is increasingly sophisticated cultural life and it's driving diverse population have rendered most of these well-worn criticisms obsolete, the question remains, could los angeles given its geographical disadvantages have been allowed to grow so large. with water becoming such a dire issue in southern california and throughout the american , the patient may be to say no but it's thanks the more enlightened conservation policies in recent years the city consumed less water in 2015 than it did in 1970 despite gaining over 1 million more residents. short of some kind of disaster scenario recalling a hollywood blockbuster, los angeles is not going to disappear anytime soon. external holiday, griffith and pe

god bless all the hate mailers. [laughter] is, in the name of advanced enhancing the online experience, social media platforms tend to push people toward others who are like them and agree with them because it is always more agreeable to have someone agree with you. defending those engaged in the work of establishing verifiable truths, and i see that is one of our purposes today, and that is across a broad range, whether they are government agencies who -- whether they are specialists in government agencies who collect and disseminate accurate information, scientist and others in the academy who subject their work to scrutiny, or the practitioners of old-fashioned journalism, defending all of these folks is essential to carrying out all of the other tasks of democracy. disorienting the public by blurring the line between fact and falsehood, alexander hamilton warned us long ago, is the trick of the despot whose object is to throw things into confusion that he may ride the storm and direct the winds. clear thatow be
