Omg…. SoCal Edison “spent millions lobbying California politicians last year alone. Now, Edison is getting a massive bailout from the state's wildfire fund to cover its liability for killing 19 people”
Their top donor recipients are
- Gavin Newsom
- Karen Bass
- AG Rob Bonta, California Attorney General
Other top donor recipients include Ricardo Lara (California Insurance Commissioner), the California Democratic Party, State Senator Lindsey Horvat, and Various CA State Legislators (e.g., Assembly Energy Committee)
This is literally racketeering l
Spencer Pratt “California's utility companies are like the mafia. SoCal Edison spent millions of dollars on bribing politicians last year alone. Now, Edison is getting a massive bailout from the state's wildfire fund to cover its liability for killing 19 people and destroying thousands of homes in the Eaton Fire? This is the racket.
California politicians like Gavin Newsom are bought and paid for by major utility companies. Just like when PG&E killed 85 people in Paradise in 2018, they simply called up the new governor, Gavin Newsom, and for $208,000 to his campaign, they got bailed out”
“If these giant utilities are so successful at buying off Gavin Newsom in California, what will they do on the national stage as Gavin Newsom runs for president?
If the same companies that paid to get out of liability for burning down our state are now funding Newsom's presidential run, what will Newsom owe them when he becomes president? Newsom sold his soul for big business. You think he'd hesitate for a second to sell out your safety?”

Nearly 9 months later, families in Altadena (CA) are still displaced while toxic soil, red tape, and inaction compound their suffering. Zaire Calvin and his family have been forced to endure unimaginable loss as he has been denied a rebuilding permit FOUR times in just four months. We need sustainable solutions for these grieving families awaiting action.

We are finally about to get answers as to where the $100 million from the FireAid concert went.
As part of our Judiciary Committee investigation, we've given FireAid a deadline of next Tuesday for a list of all expenditures and grant recipients.
