If you have been watching the television, I am sure you have seen the misleading proposition ads being blasted over the magic cable wires. One of the most dishonest and disingenuous ads is from PG&E themselves, having the balls to mask a monopolistic power grab as a chance for voters to “vote” on what money their government spends. In actuality, the bill would require a 2/3rds vote in order for local governments to purchase their own renewable energy or create public power districts with tax payer money. This bill was placed on the ballot by PG&E and is designed to keep them in power above all else. If you have forgotten the escapades of PG&E, try to recall the nightmare of corruption and incompetence that caused wandering black outs in the state for several months at a time.
It is usually easy to figure out which propositions are good or bad. If the California Chamber of Commerce supports the bill, vote against it.
