SACRAMENTO – Sen. Bill Dodd, D-Napa, issued the following statement today in response to an objection filed by Gov. Gavin Newsom to the bankruptcy financing scheme proposed by Pacific Gas & Electric Co.:

“Gov. Gavin Newsom is absolutely right to object to PG&E’s flawed plan,” Sen. Dodd said. “It’s clear that while PG&E and its hedge fund backers are acting with narrow self-interest, the governor and the Legislature are going to continue to fight for the public’s interest. That means ensuring safe, reliable and affordable energy. It means systemic change at PG&E that prevents future risk and liability from being passed on to ratepayers and communities.”
