PG&E To Purge Most of its Board in Fallout From Bankruptcy

 

BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — PG&E Corp. will sweep out three-fourths of its board of directors to start with a mostly clean slate when it emerges from a bankruptcy case triggered by deadly wildfires ignited in Northern California by the utility’s neglected electrical grid.

The decision announced Friday as part of quarterly earnings will leave just three of PG&E’s 14 current board members in place.

The San Francisco company is trying to win court approval for its bankruptcy plan by June 30.

PG&E went bankrupt after years of neglect culminated in its fraying electrical grid igniting a series of deadly Northern California wildfires.

The purge of its board of directors falls shy of meeting the demands of Gov. Gavin Newsom and PG&E's chief regulator, the Public Utilities Commission, who wanted the whole board replaced.

Cops face off with protesters at California’s Capitol as they demand end to stay-at-home order

 

In the most intense protest yet of California’s stay-at-home order, demonstrators stormed the west steps of the state Capitol building on Friday, sparking scuffles with California Highway Patrol officers and leading to at least three people being detained.

The protest of several hundred people – some holding American flags and signs calling for the economy to reopen – quickly escalated after CHP officers ordered them around 1 p.m. to leave the steps of the landmark downtown building or face arrest. Some demonstrators got within a few inches of officers’ faces, screaming that their rights to assemble were being violated and calling officers “traitors” for defending the government’s orders to restrict gatherings at schools, businesses and churches.

The protest was in direct violation of both Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order designed to slow the spread of the coronavirus and a CHP ban on protests on state property.
