    13.5 mil is chump change compared to remediataion costs for even a small fire in california. Those bribes will be worth every penny. Some corrupt asshat at PG+E deserves a raise and bonus for that.

    I’m always floored at how cheap it is to bribe politicians.

      These are just the legal bribes. The comfy jobs in the industry waiting for them after they are good little soldiers of capital are another form.

      Not to mention these politicians are just holding assets in industries that will profit for the policies they will pass. Directly or indirectly.

      SuperPAC funding is only a drop in the bucket.
