These damn public sector Pirates are at it again-
"SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2001--Pacific Gas and Electric Company today announced it is asking the Sacramento Superior Court to require the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to abide by state law and hold a public hearing before determining whether its $13 billion in power purchase contract costs are just and reasonable and should be charged to electric retail ratepayers.

``There is evidence that DWR is attempting to overcharge electric customers in PG&E's service area by over $1.4 billion in 2001 and 2002 alone, but DWR is refusing to hold a hearing on whether its costs are reasonable and supportable,'' said Roger Peters, Pacific Gas and Electric Company's senior vice president and general counsel. ``DWR should not be given a blank check to pay for its high-priced power contracts. The public needs to be able to review DWR's contracts and hold them accountable for the billions of dollars they are spending.''
****************
DWR claims they are not subject to any stinking law!!
