Timothy A. Simon, nominated to the California Public Utilities Commission by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, was confirmed Thursday by the state Senate. Simon, 52, has been serving on a provisional basis since last February. Four of the five commissioners are Schwarzenegger appointees. The term of the one appointee who was not appointed by Schwarzenegger, Michael R. Peevey, expires at the end of this year. Thursday’s vote was 32 to 1, with Sen. Tom McClintock (R-Thousand Oaks) voting no and three others abstaining.
