While California was being consumed by record-breaking wildfires last fall, top executives of major power companies were basking in the sun in Hawaii, having very quiet conferences with top Democrat California lawmakers. During this little "joint vacation," the main subject of conversation was how to force California citizens to pay for the new replacement electrical equipment and for the legal judgments against them which are sure to come.
The lawmakers all previously voted for legislation that would help
utility companies fined for wildfires and have received more than
$630,000 in campaign contributions from those same utilities, according to Consumer Watchdog.
All of which means that taxpayers will be facing the double whammy of increased electrical rates and increased taxes to cover California government assistance projects to help the companies. In the meanwhile, the Democrat lawmakers have successfully lined their pockets... again.
