Ms. Hylton reviewed her Decision Memo. Commissioner Smith confirmed that staff had talked with Mr. Rice and explained to him what caused the change in the billing cycle.

Ms. Hylton stated she had explained that to Mr. Rice but he was still not happy and wants to take the matter to the governor and the Legislature.
