ByGeorgeAvalos OaklandTribune SAN FRANCISCO PG&E residential customers can expect a 5.8 percent in- crease in their gas and electricity bills starting in September after approval by state regulators Thurs- day of the utility's request for rate hikes. The decision by the state Public Utilities Commis- sion was the first general rate increase for PG&E since the 2010 natural gas explosion in San Bruno that killed eight people and wrecked a quiet resi- dential neighborhood. "We have given PG&E the resources that it needs," PUC Commissioner Mi- chael Florio said in refer- ence to the 5-0 vote. "It is PG&E's duty to use its re- sources effectively to en- sure its system is operated in a manner that provides safe, reliable and affordable service to its customers." Overall monthly bills for an average residential customer will increase $7.50 from the rate hikes, up from the current aver- age bill of $129 a month, according to an estimate provided Thursday by PG&E. The current elec- tricity bill of $80 will rise $3 a month, or 3.8 percent, while the average gas bill of $49 a month will rise $4.50, or 9.2 percent. Higher gas bills are ex- pected to begin in Septem- ber, and the higher elec- tricity bills will go into effect in October, PG&E spokesman Jonathan Mar- shall said. San Francisco-based PG&E says the increased revenues will finance an array of projects and ac- tivities, including a new gas control center in San Ramon, new technologies to detect natural gas leaks and an improved smart grid program to upgrade the reliability of the elec- tricity system. The rate-hike approval comes amid a pending fine ofupto$2.25billionagainst PG&E by the PUC for the San Bruno blast, as well as a federal criminal case againsttheutilitythatcould result in fines of up to $1.13 billion. None of the revenue from the rate case approved Thursday will be used for payments of any of the po- tential fines, Marshall said. PUC officials said their approval of the rate hikes was based in part on whether the increased rev- enue would improve safety and reliability for PG&E's gas and electricity system. Consumer groups lam- basted the decision. "We keep paying more and more and we are not getting what we paid for," said Mindy Spatt, a spokes- woman for The Utility Re- form Network, a consumer group. "This is business as usual for PG&E." The PUC ruling autho- rized an increase of $460 million in revenue for the utility. PG&E's initial re- quest in late 2012 was for a revenue increase of $1.16 billion. "Although the decision represents a significant cut in our request for ad- ditional resources to mod- ernize our system for the 21st century, we will con- tinue to make safety our top priority," Pacific Gas & Electric President Christo- pher Johns said in a pre- pared release. The higher bills on their way to customers will more than offset a pro- posed 1 percent cut — av- eraging about 55 cents a month — in natural gas bills. GO-AHEAD FROM PUC PG&E to raise residential rates 5.8 percent By Lynn Elber The Associated Press LOS ANGELES Robin Wil- liams was in the early stages of Parkinson's disease at the time of his death, his wife said Thursday. In a statement, Susan Schneider said that Wil- liams, 63, was struggling with depression, anxiety and the Parkinson's diag- nosis when he died Monday in his Marin County home. Authorities said he commit- ted suicide. "Robin's sobriety was in- tact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxi- ety as well as early stages of Parkinson's disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly," Schneider said. Schneider did not offer details on when the actor comedian had been diag- nosed or his symptoms. The Marin County Sher- iff's Department, which said Williams hanged him- self, is conducting toxicol- ogy tests and interviews be- fore issuing a final ruling. W i l l i a m s ' d e a t h shocked fans and friends alike, despite his candor about decades of struggle with substance abuse and mental health. With Par- kinson's, Williams faced shouldering yet another challenge. Parkinson's disease is an incurable nervous sys- tem disorder that involves a loss of brain cells control- ling movement. Tremors, sometimes starting out in just one hand, are among the early symptoms. Dr. Tanya Simuni, direc- tor of the Parkinson's Dis- ease and Movement Disor- ders Center at Northwest- ern University's medical school in Chicago, said pa- tients often react to the di- agnosis with surprise and despair. Depression is often pres- ent even in early stages and can sometimes pre- cede tremors that help doc- tors make the diagnosis, Si- muni said. It's important to empha- size that not everyone who is depressed has Parkin- son's or is likely to develop it, she said, especially given "this tragic case" involving Williams in which the two diseases occurred. ACTOR'S SUICIDE Robin Williams had Parkinson's disease The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO San Fran- cisco was set to say good- bye Thursday to Candlestick Park — the stadium where the city's beloved Giants and 49ers celebrated some of their greatest triumphs. The storied venue was ex- pected to shut down after a concert by Beatles icon Paul McCartney. It will then be demolished to make way for a housing, retail and enter- tainment development. The Stick as it is known opened more than 50 years ago and served as the home fieldforthe49ersandGiants. It hosted legends from both teams, including Joe Mon- tana, Jerry Rice and Willie Mays, and was the site of The Catch — Montana's touch- down pass to Dwight Clark to win the NFC champion- ship game in January 1982 and send the 49ers to their first Super Bowl. The Giants played their last game at Candlestick in September 1999. The 49ers will play at a new stadium about 45 miles south start- ing this year. Candlestick was also the site of a 1987 mass by Pope John Paul II and the Bea- tles last live concert in 1966. San Francisco police warned people attending Thursday's concert not to take any chairs or other me- mentos from the stadium, saying anyone caught with such items could face van- dalism charges. "We don't want people to be trying to take any pieces of Candlestick Park," Officer Gordon Shyy told KGO-TV. "Just come enjoy the con- cert tonight and have a safe night."
