Sacramento, CA – Today, Governor Newsom released his Strike Force Report Wildfires and Climate change: California’s Energy Future. Assemblymember Chris Holden released the following statement:

Sacramento, CA – Today, PG&E announced its new CEO and Board of Directors selection. Assemblymember Holden issued the following statement:

"I'm not impressed. I don’t see much in this collection that indicates that they are going to watch out for anything but their bottom line but we’ll see. It appears the priority in this selection was protecting shareholders over ratepayers. The legislature will be keeping an eye on what immediate actions PG&E's new board will take to make sure wildfire victims, ratepayers, and our clean energy goals are not left out of the picture."
