This seems to be a pretty messed up case of government incompetence with some (implicit) corruption. Sigh.

"They said the agency chief misled the public by asserting that as much as $200 million was missing from accounts intended to fund programs for the state’s blind, deaf and poor. At a hearing in August, Commission President Marybel Batjer said that Stebbins had discredited the CPUC."

...

"But an investigation by the Bay City News Foundation and ProPublica has found that Stebbins was right about the missing money."
