Here is an email: Adding to Kristin's update, here's the summary of a meeting that just occured with Assembly leadership staff and industry on the Assembly's latest version of an "Edison MOU": The Speaker's staffer said that if he had to bet at this time, he would bet that the Assembly would not convene on Friday. He also said that, if it doesn't happen on Friday, nothing will happen until they get back from recess on the 20th of August. The Assembly will let folks know by tonight or first thing tomorrow whether they intend to move forward with a vote on Friday or recess. From the most recent proposal released today by the Assembly leadership, it appears that the centrist Democrats are prevailing. The proposal: Retains Direct Access (though they said that they are continuing to be pressured by the Treasurer, who wants DA suspended due to the bond issuance) Places 80% of Edison's past debt with large customers (leaving 20% with small customers, which business customers or strenuously opposing). Eliminates all references to any purchase, or option to purchase, Edison's transmission. (They said there simply ain't the votes to buy, or consider buying, Edison's transmission in the Assembly) Maintains the Senate provision, which would pay the banks, pay the QFs, but place with Edison the risk of figuring out how to pay the $1billion owed to suppliers. (Even the munis are begining to complain about those provisions.) Creates a tradeable, renewable portfolio standard (conceptually similar to the one created in Texas). The new bill is created by 1) amending SB78 and 2) gutting a different bill passed from the Senate to the Assembly, SB39, and replacing it with the new version of 82XX. The two would go together to create the Assembly's newest proposal. If this bill gets voted out of the Assembly, it will likely have a difficult time getting the votes necessary to pass in the Senate, since the Senate has considered and rejected several provisions currently included in the Assembly version. Will report back on whether the Assembly's going forward or adjourning for recess as soon as we hear. Best,

A: California Update 7/25/01----Meeting w/Assembly on Its Latest Version of Edison MOU
Here is an email: Mike: We'd talked about getting together to discuss the bills for the case. We'd originally agreed to a flat fee of $13, 500 (if memory serves) with a bonus for coming in under the cap. You've sent me bills (as of August 17 according to my records) for over $25,000. As you recall, we had a very lengthy discussion regarding the magnitude of the work associated with the hearings and associated briefs. I stressed that $13.5 was what I'd spend and that we'd have to do the best we could within that constraint, which is why I pressed for a flat fee arrangement at the outset. With that in mind, I believe that it's important to honor the arrangement. However, in light of the particular circumstances in this case, I'm willing to exceed the previous arrangement for a total of $15,000, but can't go above that. If you'd like to discuss it further, I'd be happy to talk about it. Let me know. Best,
