Gavin Newsom bailed out utility responsible for California wildfires – after collecting six figures in donations, new book claims:

California Gov. Gavin Newsom bailed out his state’s biggest utility, which caused some of the Golden State’s worst wildfires, after being showered in hundreds of thousands in donations from executives, according to a scorching assessment of his leadership in a new book.

Instead, he opted to go after oil and gas companies over climate change claims.

“Newsom holds oil and gas companies responsible for wildfires but not the utilities that caused most of them after he and his wife raked in hundreds of thousands in donations,” Susan Crabtree and Jedd McFatter write in the summary for their muckraking book, “Fool’s Gold: The Radicals, Con Artists, and Traitors Who Killed the California Dream and Now Threaten Us All.”

The authors note Newsom, a potential 2028 Democratic presidential contender, filed a lawsuit against oil and gas companies, alleging they misled the public about climate change, which contributes to conditions for wildfires.

But Newsom went easy on a monopolistic utility — Pacific Gas and Electric Company or PG&E, the authors say.

“While blaming the oil companies for contributing to climate change, he failed to hold PG&E and other utilities accountable for wildfires that spewed record amounts of carbon and other toxic smoke into the area,” the authors said in the highlights for the book, to be released Tuesday.

PG&E pleaded guilty in June 2020 to 84 counts of involuntary manslaughter in the wildfires that destroyed the northern California town of Paradise in 2018. —>READ MORE HERE

Open the Books: Gov. Newsom Solicited State Vendors For Campaign Donations:

Pay to Play: 64,000 vendors received $76 Billion in state payments in 2021

“California Governor Gavin Newsom has quietly solicited millions of dollars in campaign donations from state vendors, key people, employees, or their affiliated corporate political action committees,” Open the Books reports. “While progressives decry corporate money in politics, Governor Gavin Newsom has embraced the highly unethical practice of soliciting campaign cash from state contractors.”

In late August, the Globe shared a new report by Open the Books, which sued, and then had to file 442 California Public Record Act requests – one with each state agency – in order to obtain California’s line-by-line spending by state agencies. California’s Controller, Betty Yee, rejected their sunshine request for state spending, claiming she “couldn’t locate” any of the nearly 50 million bills she paid in 2019.

“Follow the money” used to be the first order of business of the “watchdog” media.

Open the Books is a non-profit organization which “works hard to capture and post all disclosed spending at every level of government – federal, state, and local.”

What Open the Books auditors found in California’s state spending was “979 state vendors who gave $10,561,828 in political donations to Gavin Newsom during his 2010, 2018, recall election, and 2022 election cycles. Meanwhile, these companies reaped $6,201,978,173 in state payments.”

That’s a $10.6 million investment for a $6.3 billion return.

That appears to be a very nice return on investment for the state vendors companies.
