Sen Dodd Statement on Governor's Rejection of PG&E Bankruptcy Plan

SACRAMENTO - Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, issued the following statement today in response to Gov. Gavin Newsom's rejection of PG&E's bankruptcy plan:

"We all know that we can't trust PG&E to do the right thing or even follow the law," Sen. Dodd said. "Gov. Newsom has been standing up for the interests of ratepayers, victims and communities from day one, so his continued support is no surprise. We need to achieve systemic change in the structure and governance of PG&E to ensure safe, reliable power. The stakes for California are too high to leave it to PG&E executives and their narrow self interests."

"Of course PG&E is going to claim its plan is great and complies with the law, but only a sucker would believe them at this point," Sen. Dodd said. "It's their standard operating procedure to say one thing and do another. As coauthor of Assembly Bill 1054, I can tell you we intended and must demand a better outcome for our ratepayers and communities."
