PG&E will not let the current disaster go by without using it to their advantage to screw the public, CCA's, etc, as they continue to roll cash up to the holding company.

PG&E and it's shareholder's are getting screwed. They should not be held liable for that part of the fires attributable to gross mismanagement of the forests.

Jack Hickey -- "They should not be held liable for that part of the fires attributable to gross mismanagement of the forests."

He actually went there...

Hickey truly has no shame.

>> gross mismanagement of the forests.

You mean the gub'mint should hire workers to rake the forests like Finland does?

Seriously - most of the fires were wildlands, not forests. Trump had no clue what jhe a talking about when he blamed it on forest management (coincidentally, most of CA actual forests are federal, not private, thus under his control to rake.)

But please go ahead and pick a side - yours is apparently with PG&E and their lawyers. Also expect you to continue to hi-jack the thread to forest practices.

If we had only done our job and swept those forests..... SAD

The lights aren’t going to out. The gas won’t be shut off. Oh it will cost the taxpayers a TON of money, don’t you worry about that. The large investors will be protected. Average families will see their spending power go down as utilities eat up larger and larger parts of their budgets. And none of you will change any incumbent in the next election, or the next, or the next....

Buckle up, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.

Whoever "mismanaged" the forests, or wildlands should bear a share of liability for the disasters. I didn't differentiate between land ownership, be it federal, state or other.
In my area of Emerald Hills, we were assessed an annual fee administered by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. In the event of a fire disaster in my area, one would expect them to assume some responsibility.

Thanks to the Howard Jarvis Taxpayer's Association, this illegal fee is no longer assessed. See: Web Link

>> fee is no longer assessed

And you'll be the first in line to sue if a disaster (that this fee/work could have prevented) strikes.
