as mike campbell i outlined, there are many issues happening there right now. we have limited resources. that is one we are eager to bring to the cpuc as soon as resources allow. that might be within the next few months. i understand there has been discussion at the energy committee of around cca cleanup legislation. that is one issue that might be inappropriate place to address it. one other thing i want to mention that i should have brought up earlier, i think a real problem is that our private utility really has an incentive to not perform well. it really does not have a disincentive to not perform well. there are no financial penalties for damages that have ever been levied on pg&e over the last few years. their actions have really had a solid impact on our budget. we have not been able to recoup costs for all of the lost customers that have opted out under false pretenses, nor have we been able to recoup costs for the legal battles we have been drawn into. commissioner mirkarimi: i would almost correct the statement there is no disincentive. the incentive
