Yes – PGe spent over $ 50 million and the communities spent $ 120,000.
against this ballot measure and PGe LOST !!! This number does not include all the money it has spent in it’s localized efforts to kill any competition and LOST . . .

Please illuminate community victories in the future – we all need the encouragement here !

“Community choice aggregation isn’t without detractors. In California, where deregulation was suspended (see: Enron), incumbent monopoly utility PG&E spent $40 million on a ballot initiative to effectively gut the state’s community choice law. This experience hints at the likely reception for community choice aggregation laws in other states with regulated utility markets.”

Umm… old communist truism? Perhaps you’re referring to the quote from (famed entrepeneur and capitalist) Henry Ford regarding the available colors for his assembly line built Model Ts: “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black.”
