The move would cost the state upward of $56 million a year in lost tax revenue, according to previous estimates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the governor's office argued that giving working families financial breathing room, particularly on items they have little choice but to purchase, is worth it.

Across the globe, Canada, India and Australia have long since eliminated the tax, and a battle is currently underway to end it in the United Kingdom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's office said the tax exemptions were part of his \"parents agenda\" aimed at making things easier for families in the Golden State. Other proposals he unveiled Tuesday include increasing a tax credit for low-income families, expanding the number of families that qualify for it and increasing funding for \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/CalWORKS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CalWORKS\u003c/a>, which provides child care assistance for parents participating in California's welfare-to-work program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new proposals will be included in Newsom's updated 2019-20 budget proposal that he plans to unveil Thursday.

At a news conference conducted before its release, Barr defended President Trump’s actions and why he determined the president didn’t obstruct justice. In the report, however, Mueller detailed 10 episodes of potential obstruction of justice by Trump to undermine and interfere with the investigation, but declined to charge him because of legal constraints around indicting a sitting president. While Mueller and his team also found that the president and his campaign did not conspire with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, they documented numerous contacts and links between Trump campaign advisers and Russian operatives. House Democrats have now issued a subpoena to compel the Justice Department to release to Congress the full report and its underlying evidence by May 1. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

In the report, however, Mueller detailed 10 episodes of potential obstruction of justice by Trump to undermine and interfere with the investigation, but declined to charge him because of legal constraints around indicting a sitting president. While Mueller and his team also found that the president and his campaign did not conspire with Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, they documented numerous contacts and links between Trump campaign advisers and Russian operatives. House Democrats have now issued a subpoena to compel the Justice Department to release to Congress the full report and its underlying evidence by May 1. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guest: \u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">U.S. Rep.

Her work has advanced our understanding of race and inequality by revealing the ways that implicit — or unconscious — bias can have profound effects in society, from the classroom to the courtroom. In her new book, “Biased,” she says we all can get better at spotting situations that trigger stereotypes, while sharing her own personal experiences with them and her work with law enforcement to fight them. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California should consider a wide range of policies and law changes to tackle the state’s wildfire crisis — including controversial revisions to state liability laws and potentially breaking up PG&E — Gov. Gavin Newsom said Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ideas come in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5836795-Newsom-s-Wildfire-and-Climate-Change-Report.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">58-page report\u003c/a> — the work of a \"strike team\" the governor created 60 days ago — that Newsom unveiled Friday. The report sets out a \"roadmap to confront the challenges of catastrophic wildfires,\" including both longer- and shorter-term goals, but identifies one central question as the most “vexing” and immediate: Who should pay for the damage wildfires have caused and are likely to continue to cause?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's team lays out three potential answers to that question, and urges lawmakers and other state leaders to begin debating them immediately and pass legislation on it within 90 days. [pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Gov. Gavin Newsom']'I expect PG&E is going to get serious and no longer misdirect, manipulate and mislead the people of California.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report has harsh words for PG&E, the state’s largest utility, that is blamed for some of the most destructive wildfires in recent years and filed for bankruptcy protection in January. The governor’s office declares that no options are off the table, including breaking up PG&E into smaller utilities or making it a government agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have to hold PG&E accountable,\" Newsom declared. \"I just want folks to know we are watching, and I expect the investors that are involved in PG&E to participate in the solutions. And I expect PG&E is going to get serious and no longer misdirect, manipulate and mislead the people of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report dedicates an entire section to the utility, saying its decision to voluntarily file for bankruptcy protections \"punctuates more than two decades of mismanagement, misconduct and failed efforts to improve its safety culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report notes that equipment owned by utilities in California has sparked more than 2,000 fires in the past four years, and states that they \"must be part of the solution to this problem.\" It calls for all utilities to make investments and equipment updates to reduce fire risk — but also argues that the state’s \"current system for allocating costs associated with catastrophic wildfires — often caused by utility infrastructure, but exacerbated by drought, climate change, land-use policies and a lack of forest management — is untenable both for utility customers and for our economy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Climate change's impact on wildfires in California\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11739798 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM.png 642w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM-160x90.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ending 'Inverse Condemnation'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But it’s the question of who will reimburse fire victims that Newsom said needs to be tackled immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most controversial idea in the report is a change to a state liability law, known as \"inverse condemnation,\" which holds California utilities responsible for wildfire damage caused by their equipment, whether they or not they acted negligently. The report calls the law bad for everyone and suggests changing it so that utilities cannot be forced to pay for fires if they have properly maintained their equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report said the law makes the utilities less financially stable, because investors are skittish; it threatens victims' ability to get reimbursed for damages; it \"undermines\" the state’s ability to fight climate change; and creates uncertainty for utility employees and contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This strict reading of liability, coupled with the uncertain and lengthy process for recovering funds at the California Public Utilities Commission, led to PG&E’s stock plummeting after the 2017 North Bay fires and 2018 Camp Fire, the report argues, because investors assumed PG&E would be liable for billions of dollars in damages whether it was responsible for starting the fires or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=science_1940016,science_1940012,news_11721763]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This option, which lawmakers rejected last year and many critics see as a utility bailout, would be vehemently opposed by wildfire victims and insurance companies, and would be difficult to get through the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom acknowledged that a reform to inverse condemnation is not only controversial, but difficult to change on a practical level, because it’s enshrined in the state's constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One thing [to] understand about strict liability, you can't just easily reform it,” he said. “You need to change the constitution, or you can petition the California Supreme Court” to consider reinterpreting the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process would take months or more, Newsom said, but he argued that the conversation still needs to happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11739831\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11739831 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut-800x514.jpg\" alt=\"Chris and Nancy Brown embrace while looking over the remains of their burned residence after the Camp fire tore through the region in Paradise, California on November 12, 2018.\" width=\"800\" height=\"514\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut-800x514.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut-160x103.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut-1020x655.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut-1200x771.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS33848_couple_GettyImages-1060720780-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chris and Nancy Brown embrace while looking over the remains of their burned residence after the Camp Fire tore through the region in Paradise, California, on Nov. 12, 2018. \u003ccite>(Josh Edelson/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Creating New Funds to Pay Wildfire Victims\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The report also lays out two other options for paying wildfire victim claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One is a \"liquidity-only\" fund that would be aimed at stabilizing the credit ratings of the major utilities. The money for that fund would come from a charge on ratepayers and could be dispersed to wildfire victims if a utility starts a fire. Shareholders could also potentially be on the hook. Who pays for replenishing the fund would depend on whether state regulators determine that the utility acted responsibly or not: If they did not, shareholders would pay back the money, and if they did, ratepayers would be charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wildfire damages\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11739800\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM.png 665w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM-160x81.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third concept is one that has been percolating in the Capitol for months: A wildfire insurance fund \"that would create a buffer to absorb a significant portion of the wildfire liability costs that might otherwise be passed on to ratepayers under existing law and regulation while providing time for mitigation efforts to be advanced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This idea would require buy-in from utility shareholders, who historically have not paid for insurance policies. It would also require insurance companies to agree to cap the amount of money they would try to get reimbursed for. Under this proposal, state regulators could still fine utilities that act negligently, and those fines would go into the fund. The fund would be used only to pay claims of utility-caused \"catastrophic\" wildfires — a term that would need to be defined — and would not include claims for smaller blazes, which would still be handled through normal utility insurance policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Changes at the CPUC?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The report also makes several recommendations on how to streamline \"time-consuming\" regulatory proceedings. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates utilities in California, along with a broad array of industries, including many aspects of daily life, from texting to Uber. CPUC employees and advocates have long complained that the regulator doesn’t have enough staff to handle its vast workload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC traditionally has been responsible for ensuring fair and reasonable rates. To do that, most proceedings before the commission go through lengthy legal proceedings overseen by a judge. That includes the newly created wildfire mitigation plans and general rate cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report argues that the “CPUC must be reformed,” and makes several recommendations, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Expand the regulator’s budget so that the agency can hire more staff, contract with consulting firms and work with universities.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Streamline operations by allowing commissioners to shorten proceedings, creating less onerous procedures and increasing the safety division’s enforcement authority.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Examine and implement best practices in other high-risk regulatory agencies, such as nuclear power.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Cautiously Optimistic Reactions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Newsom didn’t endorse any of the proposals in the report, Wall Street reacted positively. PG&E stock shot up nearly $3, or about 20 percent, over the course of the governor’s news conference, and a vice president at one of the main bond rating agencies — which has been sounding the alarm on the need for reforms — said the report is a step in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strike force report represents concrete progress toward options for managing wildfire risk – a credit positive,\" said Toby Shea, vice president at Moody’s Investors Service. \"None of the proposed concepts will alone mitigate the risk for California’s utilities, but combined, the strategies start to exhibit more promise. The credit impact won’t become clear until legislative details addressing liquidity and cost recovery are finalized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers also praised Newsom for taking on the complicated and difficult debate. Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, called the report \"thorough, substantive and well-researched,\" and pledged that lawmakers will act, with an eye on protecting ratepayers, fire victims and ensuring reliable electric service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This report confirms our fear that ratepayers are on the hook for large rate increases if we do nothing,\" she said. \"The Senate will be diving into the details of the report over the coming weeks and we will ensure an open and transparent process in developing solutions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Assemblyman Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, who chairs the Assembly Utility Committee, called on everyone involved to come to the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All stakeholders will have to sideline their agendas and step up as Californians to fix this problem, and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and do the hard work necessary,\" he said. \"At the end of the day, we need stability in our utilities to keep the lights on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[documentcloud url=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/5836795-Newsom-s-Wildfire-and-Climate-Change-Report.html\" responsive=true sidebar=false text=false]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The governor’s office declares that no options are off the table, including breaking up PG&E into smaller utilities or making it a government agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have to hold PG&E accountable,\" Newsom declared. \"I just want folks to know we are watching, and I expect the investors that are involved in PG&E to participate in the solutions. And I expect PG&E is going to get serious and no longer misdirect, manipulate and mislead the people of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report dedicates an entire section to the utility, saying its decision to voluntarily file for bankruptcy protections \"punctuates more than two decades of mismanagement, misconduct and failed efforts to improve its safety culture.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report notes that equipment owned by utilities in California has sparked more than 2,000 fires in the past four years, and states that they \"must be part of the solution to this problem.\" It calls for all utilities to make investments and equipment updates to reduce fire risk — but also argues that the state’s \"current system for allocating costs associated with catastrophic wildfires — often caused by utility infrastructure, but exacerbated by drought, climate change, land-use policies and a lack of forest management — is untenable both for utility customers and for our economy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Climate change's impact on wildfires in California\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11739798 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"361\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM.png 642w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.31.04-AM-160x90.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Ending 'Inverse Condemnation'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But it’s the question of who will reimburse fire victims that Newsom said needs to be tackled immediately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most controversial idea in the report is a change to a state liability law, known as \"inverse condemnation,\" which holds California utilities responsible for wildfire damage caused by their equipment, whether they or not they acted negligently. The report calls the law bad for everyone and suggests changing it so that utilities cannot be forced to pay for fires if they have properly maintained their equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report said the law makes the utilities less financially stable, because investors are skittish; it threatens victims' ability to get reimbursed for damages; it \"undermines\" the state’s ability to fight climate change; and creates uncertainty for utility employees and contractors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This strict reading of liability, coupled with the uncertain and lengthy process for recovering funds at the California Public Utilities Commission, led to PG&E’s stock plummeting after the 2017 North Bay fires and 2018 Camp Fire, the report argues, because investors assumed PG&E would be liable for billions of dollars in damages whether it was responsible for starting the fires or not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The money for that fund would come from a charge on ratepayers and could be dispersed to wildfire victims if a utility starts a fire. Shareholders could also potentially be on the hook. Who pays for replenishing the fund would depend on whether state regulators determine that the utility acted responsibly or not: If they did not, shareholders would pay back the money, and if they did, ratepayers would be charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Wildfire damages\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM.png\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11739800\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"665\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM.png 665w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/Screen-Shot-2019-04-12-at-11.42.45-AM-160x81.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 665px) 100vw, 665px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The third concept is one that has been percolating in the Capitol for months: A wildfire insurance fund \"that would create a buffer to absorb a significant portion of the wildfire liability costs that might otherwise be passed on to ratepayers under existing law and regulation while providing time for mitigation efforts to be advanced.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This idea would require buy-in from utility shareholders, who historically have not paid for insurance policies. It would also require insurance companies to agree to cap the amount of money they would try to get reimbursed for. Under this proposal, state regulators could still fine utilities that act negligently, and those fines would go into the fund. The fund would be used only to pay claims of utility-caused \"catastrophic\" wildfires — a term that would need to be defined — and would not include claims for smaller blazes, which would still be handled through normal utility insurance policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Changes at the CPUC?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The report also makes several recommendations on how to streamline \"time-consuming\" regulatory proceedings. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates utilities in California, along with a broad array of industries, including many aspects of daily life, from texting to Uber. CPUC employees and advocates have long complained that the regulator doesn’t have enough staff to handle its vast workload.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CPUC traditionally has been responsible for ensuring fair and reasonable rates. To do that, most proceedings before the commission go through lengthy legal proceedings overseen by a judge. That includes the newly created wildfire mitigation plans and general rate cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report argues that the “CPUC must be reformed,” and makes several recommendations, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Expand the regulator’s budget so that the agency can hire more staff, contract with consulting firms and work with universities.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Streamline operations by allowing commissioners to shorten proceedings, creating less onerous procedures and increasing the safety division’s enforcement authority.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Examine and implement best practices in other high-risk regulatory agencies, such as nuclear power.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>Cautiously Optimistic Reactions\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Newsom didn’t endorse any of the proposals in the report, Wall Street reacted positively. PG&E stock shot up nearly $3, or about 20 percent, over the course of the governor’s news conference, and a vice president at one of the main bond rating agencies — which has been sounding the alarm on the need for reforms — said the report is a step in the right direction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strike force report represents concrete progress toward options for managing wildfire risk – a credit positive,\" said Toby Shea, vice president at Moody’s Investors Service. \"None of the proposed concepts will alone mitigate the risk for California’s utilities, but combined, the strategies start to exhibit more promise. The credit impact won’t become clear until legislative details addressing liquidity and cost recovery are finalized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers also praised Newsom for taking on the complicated and difficult debate. Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, D-San Diego, called the report \"thorough, substantive and well-researched,\" and pledged that lawmakers will act, with an eye on protecting ratepayers, fire victims and ensuring reliable electric service.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This report confirms our fear that ratepayers are on the hook for large rate increases if we do nothing,\" she said. \"The Senate will be diving into the details of the report over the coming weeks and we will ensure an open and transparent process in developing solutions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Assemblyman Chris Holden, D-Pasadena, who chairs the Assembly Utility Committee, called on everyone involved to come to the table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All stakeholders will have to sideline their agendas and step up as Californians to fix this problem, and I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and do the hard work necessary,\" he said. \"At the end of the day, we need stability in our utilities to keep the lights on.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom, who entered office in January amid a mounting wildfire crisis, will outline a series of possible ways forward for California\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11734407/who-should-pay-for-wildfire-liability-so-utilities-dont-go-bankrupt\"> including a proposal to create a re-insurance fund run by the state\u003c/a>, according to people familiar with the discussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The insurance fund is aimed at making future fire victims financially whole, while also protecting publicly traded utilities from insolvency. The concept has been percolating around the Capitol for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal will be one of several included in a report, set to be issued Friday, outlining what Newsom's administration believes are the key areas that need to be tackled to protect California from the devastating wildfires it has witnessed in recent years — and make sure that PG&E is the only major California utility that ends up in bankruptcy proceedings this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11721861/pge-files-for-chapter-11-bankruptcy-protection\">PG&E filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protections in January\u003c/a>, citing $30 billion in potential liabilities from two years of devastating wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom's report will also at least broach two other controversial topics: Reforming the California Public Utilities Commission, and revisiting state liability laws that can leave utilities on the hook for damages even when they are not negligent.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Balancing Act\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The governor is not expected to make a definitive legislative proposal, however, on any of the ideas included in the report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think all those things will be on the table,\" said Napa state Sen. Bill Dodd, whose district was devastated by the 2017 North Bay fires and who has been intimately involved in wildfire discussions in the state Capitol over the past year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Dodd said there are many details still to be worked out — including who would pay into an insurance fund, and how to make sure PG&E shareholders don't walk away unscathed.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=”right” citation=\"State Sen. Bill Dodd\"]'Why should [PG&E] be afforded any more protections when they already took the path of least resistance by filing for bankruptcy?'[/pullquote]\u003cbr>\nDodd's position underscores the tough position Newsom finds himself in as he tries to weigh the political reality in the state Capitol with demands from Wall Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dodd said any proposals viewed as offering help or financial protection for the utilities, like an insurance fund, should be tied to concrete concessions from PG&E to ensure that the company improves its safety practices, and include requirements that shareholders -- not just ratepayers — have skin in the game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Why should they be afforded any more protections when they already took the path of least resistance by filing for bankruptcy?\" Dodd said. \"If ratepayers have any role in the company's financial future, in terms of financial backstops, we need to see they are serious about safety and following the rules and the law.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Wall Street Lobbies Sacramento\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The governor's office, according to those familiar with the discussions, knows that its key audience for any proposal is the state Legislature, not Wall Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Newsom's office is crafting its ideas with an eye toward protecting ratepayers from bearing the brunt of multibillion-dollar wildfires while also trying to calm investors' nerves.

Newsom added that in the last decade, the state ceded that role to governors from more conservative border states. “That’s why I’m down here. That’s what I want to bring back in terms of the leadership that we want to advance for our state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stated purpose of his trip: to learn more about the root causes driving Central Americans to migrate by the thousands in the last year and how California could help here or at home.

She’s executive director of Mujeres Transformando, an organization pushing for better working conditions for the 70,000 women who work in clothing factories, and make clothes mostly exported to the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He can send letters, bring delegations and spotlight what is happening here,” she said. “I believe he can because our leaders go to the United States, too, and it’s important they listen to him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traveling with only his wife Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Assemblywoman Wendy Carrillo, some staff and reporters — as well as a security contingent from the California Highway Patrol — the governor has received a warm welcome here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People in the mountain town of Panchimalco were waiting for him when he arrived Tuesday afternoon. Salvadoran children adorned in colorful costumes danced, and boys in white played traditional instruments — part of a cultural arts program intended to help the children avoid gangs and possibly create a path to future jobs through traditional artisanry.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Salvadorans Share Their Stories\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day the Newsoms toured a deportee processing center, where Salvadorans who have been returned to the country are fingerprinted, interviewed and offered assistance if they need it. Several returned migrants shared their stories with the governor, telling him they left El Salvador because they lacked jobs and feared for their safety. Two were detained in Mexico and deported. A third made it to Houston, but returned after six months for a family reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Escobar Fuentes fled El Salvador because gangs were extorting his ranching family, while Bryon Melgar Menjivar wanted to escape pressure to join a gang that started when he was 15. Sandra Monroy headed north for a good job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuentes and Monroy, his aunt, left for the U.S. in a caravan last October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were so excited because we were going to go to the United States — the wish all Salvadorans have,\" Monroy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Central American Immigration\" tag=\"central-america\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they never made it. Authorities in Mexico stopped them, held them for three days and then bused them back to El Salvador. They did not share details about why they were stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Menjivar successfully made it to an aunt's home in Houston several years ago but returned home voluntarily when his mother needed help. He had crossed the border illegally with help from a human smuggler and hopes to return because of the violence at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violence by gangs has made El Salvador one of the most dangerous countries in the world, with 50 homicides for every 100,000 people. By contrast, the U.S. rate is about five per 100,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I never leave my house because it's so insecure outside,\" said Menjivar, who is 18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three met with Newsom privately after sharing their stories with reporters. The International Organization for Migration chose them to meet with the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fuentes, 26, said his family used to own a farm with cattle and goats but was forced to sell many of them off as gangs demanded much of their profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Here, the struggle is day by day, you have to survive one day for the other,\" he said of El Salvador.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monroy said some people in the caravans may be affiliated with gangs but most are trying to escape violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newsoms and Carillo also met privately with President Cerén and the U.S. Ambassador Manes. Afterward the governor said little about the meetings, but did report that both expressed concern about having just met with Trump administration officials to discuss U.S. humanitarian aid — more than $450 million — only to have President Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/0d61a99f032c49f89828c6c140ad2ab3\">move to cut off\u003c/a> the aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The U.S. aid we are providing is making a real difference in people’s lives, not just from a security perspective but from an economic perspective,” he said he learned. “The absurdity of the U.S. would pull back from something that is working and would create a problem they want to fix.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said his wife asked President Cerén about the situation for women in El Salvador, and particularly women in prison. The issue is important to Salvadoran American leaders in Los Angeles, who say many women in El Salvador face incredible violence and abuse, which often propels their migration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Their American dream, as part of America, is to stay in their home and in their community,” said Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Human Rights Los Angeles. “Nobody comes because they want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom didn’t disclose the president’s response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting by Kathleen Ronayne of The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

That’s why I say it’s just manufactured, pure political theater.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Donald Kerwin, executive director of the Center for Migration Studies in New York, said it’s appropriate for the governor to visit El Salvador given California’s demographics and progressive leanings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has taken a different approach to all of its residents — which includes Salvadorans, who have come from there and have family there — than the federal government has,” Kerwin said. “You have to address root causes which are the conditions which are driving this, and you also have to create some opportunities for really desperate people to migrate legally.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosa Hernandez and her granddaughter were unshed out of the cathedral when it was cleared for Newsom’s visit, but lingered near the entrance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez, 54, said she doesn’t have enough money to try to go to the United States but knows many people who have left because they can’t find work and are fleeing the violent conditions here. All six of her children are grown now, but she still worries about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they go out, you don’t know if they are going to come back, if they are going to live or die, but I have to trust in God,” she said. “The only thing that anyone can do to help, is to help improve security here, because nobody does anything about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
