Gov. Gavin Newsom's administration is asking the U.S. trustee overseeing PG&E's Chapter 11 bankruptcy case to officially include wildfire victims, ratepayers and employees on the committees that advocate for creditors in these types of cases.
A three-page letter sent on behalf of Newsom on Friday notes that PG&E's bankruptcy proceedings will have "direct and profound impacts" on Californians, "including wildfire victims who have claims against the company that must be resolved fairly and equitably."
