Yes, we should be angry at the PG&E price hikes. On the other hand, we should also review the possibility of taking away the governor’s right to appoint the California Public Utilities Commission. A constitutional amendment is a great way to start.
As we’ve seen over the past two decades, the CPUC just waves their magic fairy wand and grants PG&E their wish. The CPUC positions should be voted on by the people and should follow the same path as the U. S.
House of Representatives and be voted in or out of office every two years. This way we can weed out the corruption of the CPUC. Furthermore, the current and past individuals who are or have been on the board should not be considered in this process.

The question we have to answer is, Who are we? That’s the question we have to answer: Who are we?” I’ll answer only for myself: I believe in our country, our small-d democracy, and in everyone reading this, whether or not you agree with me. I believe that every single one of us deserves respect, and every one of us has the right to vote for the government that represents us.
