FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | MARCH 2023 11 The court case involving the city of Banning, Creation Equity, and the Pass Action Group of Sun Lakes is ongoing. Randy Robbins of the Pass Action Group Steering Committee has advised me that as of this writing, Judge Reimer should have received the response briefs from the city of Banning and Creation Equity. The next step will be the Pass Action Group's response to the City of Banning and Creation Equity's brief by March 9. Judge Reimer will consider the information contained in the briefs by all parties and then set a date for a hearing. It is believed the hearing could be scheduled in April or May, but as of this time no date has been scheduled. The Pass Action Group held a Town Hall Meeting on Feb. 7 at Sun Lakes. This meeting was well attended by Sun Lakes and Four Seasons residents and community members of Banning and Beaumont. The attendees were briefed on the progress of the case, as well as the need for continued support from the community. Additional fundraising events are being planned by PAG at this time. Watch for information on upcoming fundraising events on our Daily Report, the website, and, if time permits, our Breeze magazine. Online donations can be made at www.givebutter.com/ passactiongroupbanning. Checks can be sent to the Pass Action Group, 4832 Crenshaw Circle, Banning, CA 92220. The Pass Action Group's Board of Directors thanks everyone who has supported and continue to support the efforts to overturn the warehouse proposal. Read the Breeze monthly for updates BANNING WAREHOUSE UPDATE By Jerry Monahan, Board President DID YOU KNOW that seniors in California are often entitled to utility assistance? During this time of inflated costs, it's important to explore all money-saving measures available. Nonprofit organizations like The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) want you to know that there are many state and federal programs designed to help you manage your utility bills. These programs include California LifeLine, Deaf and Disabled Telecommunications Program (DDTP), California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE), Energy Savings Assistance Program, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA), Medical Baseline, Water Company Assistance. If you or someone in your household requires the regular use of electrically-powered medical equipment or other qualifying medical devices, you may be eligible for Edison's Medical Baseline Allowance program. This program provides an additional 16.5 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity per day. Provided at the lowest baseline rate, this helps offset the cost of operating the medical equipment. For more information about these consumer programs, please contact The California Public Utilities Commission Business & Community Outreach by emailing outreach@cpuc.ca.gov or calling (855) 421-0400.
