You made it very clear that yo= u were planning to have fact-finding hearings based upon fundamental fairne= ss and due process. You made a further commitment that there would be no s= urprises. Prior to today, the hearings have been conducted consistent with= that representation. Unfortunately, today it appears that the Committee has set a new course tha= t radically departs from these previous commitments. Today, the Committee = is hearing testimony from several surprise witnesses. These witnesses are = former employees of San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) under contract with = Duke Energy for an interim period during which Duke Energy operated the fac= ilities in San Diego. It is our understanding that these former contract = employees are alleging that the company failed to properly maintain these f= acilities, and they are alleging that Duke Energy cycled these facilities d= ifferently than the former owner, SDG&E. It is also our understanding that= Duke Energy will not be afforded the opportunity to contemporaneously chal= lenge these allegations and/or provide an explanation as to the operational= behavior of the facilities. In short, the hearings are being reduced to a= media event, giving credence to the unsustainable allegations of disgruntl= ed ex-employees. Respectfully, it would appear that the Committee has wandered far afield of= its stated goals. These hearings have the potential of identifying what w= ent wrong with California?s energy policy and how to fix it. However, this= will only occur if this inquiry is based on informal facts and complete in= formation, not innuendo and unsubstantiated allegations. It is the pursuit= of facts, not headlines, which will solve California?s energy crisis. The= se facts will be revealed only in a fair process, where allegations made ar= e subject to contemporaneous response. =20 It is our hope that today?s process is an aberration, and not a departure f= rom your commitments. The Committee is at a crossroads. It can choose to = engage in fact-finding and analysis, or it can be reduced to a witch-hunt i= n pursuit of headlines. For the benefit of all Californian?s, the Committe= e should focus on fact-finding and analysis. Sincerely, Jan Smutny-Jones Executive Director
