So I take it you’re not a big fan of Prop 13? Your paid representatives figured out how much property tax you should pay.
I think politicians should have to get approval from the affected residents before they can pull a Hugo Chavez on the power company.
MID is an exception. Most cities are not going to get a system like that. The places that are pushing to take over power districts are almost always the most liberal - SF, Marin County and the like. They’re going to give you smart meters, energy rationing, and “green” power up the wazoo.
I didn’t say no Props...just a lot less...I can count the useful ones over the last 30 years on 2 hands...Prop 13 being one of them. Like a previous poster said...PG&E isn’t the “Free Market” at work...it is highly regulated by the CPUC, as any new utility districts would be also...we KNOW PG&E is infested with eco-nuts, any new utility districts might be better...let the market decide. The central valley (FResno) is courting a company interested in a small nuke plant...would be much harder to pull off with a 2/3rds vote requirement. PG&E tried an anti-competitive move and lost...too bad...so sad.
