“A convicted federal felon donated more than $4 million to influence California politics and the money was accepted by Gov. Newsom & the vast majority of members of state legislature

“The donor’s crimes were connected to the deaths of eight people....
“Politicians knew that but took the money anyway

“The convict in this story isn’t a person. It’s PG&E

“Newsom, a Democrat, received more than $200,000 ... & is attempting to broker a legislative package to help companies like PG&E remain solvent...”

“Newsom on Friday signed a bill approved by lawmakers a day earlier that creates a $21 billion fund to help bankrupt PG&E Corp and the state's other investor-owned utilities cover liabilities arising from future wildfires caused by their equipment.”

“Under the legislation, California's investor-owned utilities will need to agree to put a combined $5 billion toward improvements in their electrical grids to access the fund.”

How’s that going?

🤔🌲🔥👎🏼
This video segment by @BrandonRittiman confronting @GavinNewsom about the ethics of taking PG$E $ is so ballsy I scrolled up twice to confirm that it really aired on @ABC10 in Sacramento

I hope we see this kind of tough-minded journalism from others
