Bad management, as seen from the outside, can be a symptom of lack of resources to do the job right.
A maintenance manager is given a budget every year and he told to decide what to fix on that budget. He must to decide what is most critical and what can wait based on the information available to him.
A company that is making a decent profit can afford to fix more things than one that is struggling.
Is the bad management at PG&E or Sacramento? After watching California slowly implode for several decades, I more than half suspect it is in Sacramento.

My thought too, and I’m CONVINCED it comes down to Sacramento - since the state didn’t start burning down big-time, until just after the Democrats took over. What’s going on here is a VERY EFFECTIVE DIVERSION of blame.
