Re: Legal Analysis on AB 1890

I think it's fuzzy enough that two good lawyers could give two different
views--wanted to ensure that all analytic bases are covered. But I just
talked to Mike and he and I think, at least preliminarily, that the PUC could
do this absent legislation. He's going to do the analysis. Likely better to
let Mike go ahead and do the analysis and if we want to get other opinions,
we can make that decision at that time.

One last thought: If the PUC could do it, that might be Davis' preference.
That way, he and his people are in charge. But it may be difficult
(impossible) for the Legsilature to resist and Davis may not have the clout
to get them to back off.

I think it would be a good idea to have Ron Carroll in Watkiss' shop to do a
parallel analysis to what we're going to have Mike Day do. Ron's very good
and has done much work on these sortrs of issues. You comfortable with that?
