Prop. 16 foes sling a stone against PG&E Goliath

By Josh Richman
Tuesday, May 11th, 2010 at 1:18 pm in 2010 election, Environment, ballot measures, energy.

With PG&E having now invested more than $34.6 million so far in Proposition 16, its measure to make it harder for municipal governments to choose to get their power from anywhere else, the measure�s opponents are clearly fiscally outmatched � but they�re fighting on nonetheless.

But the trick will be getting California voters to see these films; with no notable money in the bank, it�s not as if Prop. 16�s opponents will be able to advertise much on television, radio or in direct mail, while PG&E is surely gearing up for a multimedia ad blitz.

3. I really hope it doesn't. It may not affect me now, but I sure hate to have..

PG&E make laws to benefit themselves, only. Talk about a monopoly that needs to be broken up...its this one.
