From the transcript
And so slide 27 is the similar slide, which is the bill that the Governor introduced. And if you compare this to slide 26, you'll see that there is a reduction in state revenues of about $7 billion, a very significant reduction in municipal revenues of over $13 billion. And what does that do? Is it reduces the in-state cost of supply, breakeven from $4.86 to utilities down to $4.43. But more importantly, it reduces that breakeven cost into the global market from $9.07 under current law down to $8.48 under the bill as introduced by the governor.
