Mayor of Paradise pleads with residents to stop threatening PG&E workers

PARADISE, Calif. — The mayor of Paradise, the town that burned in the 2018 Camp Fire, is now pleading with residents to stop threatening Pacific Gas & Electric workers.

However, residents of Paradise are reportedly threatening PG&E workers, ignoring traffic control signs and have almost hit workers, Mayor Steve Crowder said in a Facebook post on Friday.

He said many are angry about not getting their settlement from PG&E.

    Can't say I blame them. I went to HS and college with a couple who lost everything in that fire. The utility burns down their homes, Doesn't pay the settlement and drags it's feet about restoring power. The only way the company is still in business is they had to have bought off enough Demonrat politicians there.

    Yep. I do not have any sympathy for anyone who remains to work for an evil corporation. PG&E and the State of California should be bending over backwards and groveling at every step help repair everyone still living that was affected by that fire. And anyone still living in Commiefornia should be prepared to live under the communist state that it is.

    And those PG&E workers have exactly zero do do with the Paradise-ians not getting their settlements.

      If you read the mayor's facebook post the people should direct their anger at the wildfire trust attorneys, not at the employees of a contracted traffic control company.

      "PG&E is being blamed for the lack of distribution on the wildfire trust payouts. PG&E has already paid out everything required of them into the trust and out of $13.5 billion only $2 billion has been distributed by the trust."

      Meanwhile, I'm sure the attorneys are billing $1800 an hour for their services.

      You really believe the suits at PG&E or their hired shysters give a red rats ass about the peons harmed by the fire? The only people from the utility that the victims will ever lay eyes one are the ones in the white trucks.

    It's not PG&E or their employers necessarily, look at the dumbasses you keep electing and imposing dumbass rules and regulations. Shit oh dear, kalifukinornia hasn't been able to keep the electricity on since they got electrified clear back in the early 1900's.

    PG&E murdered more people than Charles Manson and Juan Corona combined.

    So PG&E is spending 10 times as much (at least)burying HV primaries as running high lines and keeping equipment updated...
    Because?

    According to the article, PG&E spent 5 years in the hoosegow, so they've paid their debt to society.
