Hey PG&E fans!

Edited on Mon Dec-28-09 06:34 PM by Ernesto

The facts are out there, it just takes time to pay attention.

..."And its sole sponsor, according to state campaign finance records -- is Pacific Gas and Electric Co., one of the biggest electrical utilities in the state. So far, PG&E has spent $3 million of ratepayers' money to advance the Taxpayers Right to Vote Act."

What are the chances that PG&E ginned up this innocuous-sounding initiative, shrouding its own involvement behind a scrim of public relations and law firms, largely to preserve its monopoly against competition from public power agencies? I'd say 100%.
