Im confident that we have followed that the lafco staff and puc staff have followed the direction of the board of supervisors that was decided many months ago and that direction wants to move forward and to set rates. I think that we have reached a point where the rate that has been presented is probably the best we can do in light of all the competing interest. I do believe that we have lessons to learn from marine and we have all along incorporating those difference. Marine is a different juri...

But if they want...

Diverse population that we have and i think its something that we are very proud of the equation here. Im ready to move forward. I do hope that we use this as an opportunity to expand where we are and to invite all the different partners to make this program even better. But i think that not moving forward would go against the decision that the board of supervisors has made. I also want to acknowledge the work of the puc, our general manager and his staff and miss malcolm in particular because i...
