Hosted by

That could mean Poisner's candidacy for governor or Mercury's backing of Prop 17 on the June ballot.  What will it all mean for consumers? Also, the DWP, water main breaks and conservation. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, Russia's Medvedev calls Obama's nuclear summit a "complete success," but adds, "I hope we won't just go home feeling happy."
