(SAN FRANCISCO) – Attorney General Bill Lockyer today on behalf of 20 state agencies asked the federal bankruptcy court to reject Pacific Gas & Electric's reorganization plan as an illegal attempt to evade state laws designed to protect the public health, safety and welfare interests of Californians. "The California Public Utilities Commission is working on an alternative reorganization plan which could be submitted to the bankruptcy court," Lockyer said. "Alternatives would be worth considering if they provide full payments to PG&E creditors without interfering with the state's ability to protect the public health, safety and welfare of Californians." In criticizing the utility's reorganization plan, the Attorney General told the court that PG&E is seeking to use the bankruptcy court to skirt over 40 state laws, regulations, rules and state agency decisions that cover no less than 155 state and local agencies.
