California budget vote produces no results
Posted at 1222 AM on Wednesday, Sep. 09, 201D
By Kevin Yamamura

For only the second time in 34 years, state lawmakers have reached September without passing a budget.
The Legislature conducted floor votes Tuesday on competing Democratic and Republican plans, both of which fell shor# mostiy along party lines.
exercise served as a rhetorical workout but gave littie indication that lawmakers are close ta a compromise,
in about three hours of debate, lawmakers confirmed what has been known for months — that the two parties remain entrenched in their positions
and spending cuts.
Nonetheless, Senate Presidenf Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, said afterward that the discussion had been "cathartic" because lawm
chance to explain where they stood.
Republicans criYicized Democrats for waiting until the finai day of the legislati�e session to hold the year's first floor vote on a fuil spending pian. l
day's action would accomplish little.
"So why they put it up for a vote in the first place no one knows," said Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger at a San Francisco Chamber of Cornmerce e
according to a transcript. "But Senator Steinberg insisted that he doesn't want to hear the word drili, that it is not a drill ... So IeYs call it Kabuki, w
want to call it, but that's what it is."
Steinberg said legislative leaders waited until now because they were previously concerned about disrupting the fiow of pri�ate budget ta{ks.
"!f you go too early with the public debate, there's the risk that you're going to harm what can be delicate negotiations," Steinberg said. "In this in:
we're to a point where certainiy there's no harm and some value to airing what everybody knows to be the difference, but in a public and in a civil
Democrats and Repubiicans essentially disagree over $4 billion ta $5 biliion in solutions, roughiy one-quarter of the $19 biliion deficit. Schwarzen
has demanded lower pensions for future state workers, as well as a permanent change that would restrict future state spending.
To bridge the last part of the deficit, Democrats have proposed three major tax ideas. That includes a$2.1 biilion delay of corporate tax benefits;
tax swap that wouid aiter taxes on income, sales and vehicles; and a tax on oii production that would raise $600 million.
Approving those taxes wouid spare the state's welfare-to-work program, provide state-subsidized child care ta low-income families and give schc
additional $323 per pupii. The taxes also would avoid higher co-pays and stricter restrictions on doctor visits for Medi-Cai patients.
"This is a moment for us to put on the record what we think is the best approach for California," said Assembly Speaker John A. Perez, D-Los An
Steinberg said he does not want higher taxes, but that they are required to avoid devastating cuts. Sen. Bob Dutton, R-Rancha Cucamonga, saic
pieasure in eliminating programs, but that higher taxes are not an option in a down economy. "i hate all these plans. I didn't come here to make c
The Republican proposal wouid bridge the last part of the budget deficit by eliminating welfare-to-work, as well as child care for ail but preschool
wouid cut deepiy into in-home care for low-income elderly and disabled residents and rely on the aforementioned Medi-Cal changes. Republican
proposed significant reductions in state worker pay.
Republicans blamed Democrats for not accepting smaller reductions to weifare and In-Home Supportive Services eariier this year. They said the
is that Californians cannot afford higher taxes.
"The public expects that we will not take more tax dollars out of their pocket," said Assembly Republican leader Martin Garrick, R-Solana Beach.
Both houses wiil hold a joint informational hearing today to discuss a Schwarzenegger idea to appiy the state sales tax to services. The governai
hoid a news conference on the budget.
Legislative leaders are expected to resume ciosed-door budget taiks within days, although no sessions have been scheduled. Schwarzenegger �
leave for a six-day trade mission in Asia on Sept. 9, budget or no budget.

Structure Announces Findings of PG&E Smart Meter Assessme
Cu.stomer Usage, Rates, Customer Service, and Process Issues are Largest Complaint Factors
HOUSTON (September 2, 2010) - StructureTM, an industry leader in business advisory and cor
services to the energy and utilities industries, today provided to the California Public i
Commission (CPt1C) an Assessment Report of a five month evaluation of Pacific Gas and
Company's (PG&E) Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system focused on electric res
customers. Structure concluded that the residential electric Smart Meters deployed by PG�
consistent with industry standards and axe performing accurately. However, Structure identified
customer service and processes related to the handling of high bill complaints related to Smar
deployment, and determined certain PG&E practices to be partially non-compliant relative to i
best practices.
In the presentation to the CPUC, Structure addressed the following questions:
1. Does PG&E's SmartMeterTM system measure and bill electric usage accurately, both
since PU&E's Smart Meter deployment began?
Structure confirmed that Smart Meters are accurately recording electric usage at present,
systems are correctly processing data and billing usage. Structure also confirmed there `
systemic issues found since Smart Meter deployment, beyond exceptions already repc
PG&E. The exceptions that were identified are limited and are not prevalent in the
population of deployed meters.
2. What factors contributed to Smart Meter high bill complaints?
Structure's Assessment identified multiple factors that appeared to contribute to the escal
Smart Meter high bill complaints during late 2009 and early 2010, including finding;
following areas:
• Customer Usage:
o Meter deployment schedules coincided with increased energy usage caused
wave.
o Some customers experienced load changes that were reflective of changes in �
� I ��i
�
�� � �
o Incorrectly applied rates that were based upon historical premise assumptic:
affected customer baselines and rates.
o Rate-related inquires increased a5 customer bills escalated. Requests fi
enrollment or failure to manually renew enrollment in financial assistance 1
California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE).
• Customer Service:
o PG&E processes did not address the customer concerns associated with t
equipment and usage changes.
o Customer skepticism regarding the new Advanced Metering technology �
addressed early or effectively by PG&E.
o PG&E's customer complaint resolution process did not utilize detailed inter�
information available from Smart Meters, which may have assisted cus
understanding of their individual hourly usage patterns.
o Some customers interviewed during this assessment did not consider their co
resolved, despite indications from PG&E and CPUC that the customer agre
the resolution.
• Process Issues:
o PG&F, utilized field meter readers for an average of 131 days after Smart
were installed, resulting in similar meter reading errors as electromechanical
The transition to automate the Smart Meter data for use in billing was not
addressed with customers.
o PG&E's system tolerances related to billing quality control were not s
enough, resulting in multiple bill cancelations and re-billings, which were cc
to customers.
o Customers indicated that communications surrounding physical meter insi
were lacking, or that the customer had issues with the installation personnel.
3. How does PG&E's SmartMeter' M program's past and current operational and dep;
practices compare against the framework of industry best practices?
Structure performed a review of PG&E's documentation of past and current operatio
deployment policies, processes, and procedures against a framework of industry best p�
Structure found PG&E to have been historically in compliance (since the beginning o
Meter deployment), or have recently come into compliance, with many best practices as;
with Smart Meters. However, Structure identified several items of partial or non-con
related to industry best practices, particularly in the areas of complaint troubleshoot
account billing.
To arrive at these answers, Structure divided the assessment into six components:
���
� �� �
• Assessment of AMI security framework.
As part of the assessment, Structure independently tested over 750 Smart Meters
electromechanical meters.
The laboratory meter testing included verifying 156 meters for accuracy and factory programmi�
representative sample of new meters shipped from the manufacturer and obtained from r
geographically-dispersed PG&E warehouse facilities. A portion of these meters were utilized to �
environmental stress testing in a controlled temperature chamber at reference, high, and low tempe
All of the tested Smart Meters passed the applicable accuracy testing standard established by the in
Field meter testing was performed on 611 Smart Meters and 147 electromechanical meters, and i�
site verification, meter type and form factor verification, proper installation, and meter progr
accuracy verification across six scenarios. 7'he pass/fail criteria were based upon the CPUC a
standard of �2.0% for electromechanical and Smart Meters. 100% of the 611 tested Smart
successfully passed the CPUC accuracy standard. Of the electromechanical meter field tests, 141
passed and 6 failed the CPUC accuracy standard.
End-to-end system testing included both lab and field analysis on a small sample size to confirm r
bill system accuracy. Structure verified the meter usage and event data from the customer �
through the AMI and billing systems, to the customer's receipt of the printed bill. For both of the
Structure did not identify deviations during the testing that indicated a systemic problem in th
billing system's accuracy.
For the high bill complaint analysis, Structure reviewed and analyzed 1,378 electric Smart Meter t
complaints and identified factors around customer usage, rates, customer service, and process
Results from 20 high bill complaint customer interviews identified specific service issues
complaint management by PG&E and the CPUC.
Structure performed a review of PG&E's documentation of past and current operational and dep:
policies, processes, and procedures against a framework of industry best practices. As summarizec
Structure found PG&E to have been historically in compliance, or have recently come into com
with many industry best practices a.SSOCiated with Smart Meters, though certain PG&E practic
evaluated to be partially non-compliant.
The security assessment was performed to provide a confirmation that controls were establis]
documented on the Smart Meter system. Structure concluded that PG&E has developed a cyber
framework that is compliant with industry best practices.
Structure Principal Stacey Wood summarized Structure's perspective on this project as follows,
Structure was able to verify the accuracy of the meters and flow of ineter data to downstrearr
systems, Structure did uncover issues that negatively impacted the customer experience,
