Glad you're on your toes, Gene, and keeping Pacificorp on their toes also.

The chart showing a "5th quarter" made me laugh and probably confused a lot of 3rd graders.

I wish I had 5 quarters for every dollar.

Thanks. The charts for PacifiCorp and the Western States Petroleum Association both show 5th quarter. The reason is that the California legislative calendar encompasses eight quarters. Since I'm used to seeing accurate representations of lobbing expenditures on those SoS summary pages, it took me some time to figure out PacifiCorp's misdirection. When you read some of CGNP's other articles, you will learn that BHE subsidiary PacifiCorp is a coal-heavy power supplier to California. CGNP objects to this environmental hypocrisy which has significant parallels to Germany's energy policy since 2011. Cut out nuclear..... Phase in coal.

In response to CGNP's complaint to the California Secretary of State, PacifiCorp filed an Amended First Quarter 2024 Form 635 on May 21, 2024. The amended form with the correct quarterly total of $2,731,125.08 is now available.
