Page 529d
Golden State advocates for a rule that would shift the bargaining power decisively in its favor. "While an interesting conversation might be had about whether this was reasonable or wise, we can find no room for arguing" it as a matter of statutory interpretation. (Capistrano Taxpayers Association, Inc. v. City of San Juan Capistrano (2015) 235 Cal.App.4th 1493, 1507-1508 [___ Cal.Rptr.3d ___].) Like the trial court, we will not set aside the lawfully expressed will of the voters.
There is no change in the judgment.
Golden State Water Company's petition for rehearing is denied.
