we do not believe the ntsb is adequately policing pg&e. one of the biggest concerns about the san bruno explosion is the fact that after a smaller explosion resulted in a fatality in rancho cordova, it is unclear if anything was done with the ntsb recommendations at that time. where is the follow-through? it is not coming from pg&e and is not coming from the public utilities commission, so it is incumbent on the board supervisors to step up and take this issue on. we want to stress safety should be a priority here. we agree it is not necessarily an issue of aging pipelines pier while shut off valves are an important thing, we only need them after we have got a problem, not before. maintenance and safety should come first. this investigation possibly should include checking pg&e's phone lines as well. we have heard from numerous customers that there were calls about a gas leak. it is incomprehensible as they fled their burning houses they got together to lie about having phone calls. we wonder what happened to the wac -- record of those pho
