At a recent meeting, Arguello said a manager suggested his own job could be on the line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The response was, ‘Well, if you’re not happy, you have a choice not to be here.’ And that to me is quite frightening because this is obviously my livelihood,” Arguello, 38, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karabel, the union organizer, said other workers are also feeling vulnerable, particularly immigrant employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are afraid to some degree seeing how many resources the company has put into this anti-union campaign,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), which is investigating the unfair labor practices complaint, \u003ca href=\"https://www.nlrb.gov/about-nlrb/what-we-do/investigate-charges\">generally takes seven to 14 weeks to issue a decision in most cases\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Employers have a right to express their opinion about unions and can encourage workers not to join them. Yet they are not legally allowed to issue threats imperiling workers’ jobs or benefits or, conversely, to offer workers incentives for rejecting a union, according to Bill Gould, professor emeritus at Stanford Law School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, he added, those violations are often difficult to prove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11940733\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11940733\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476.jpg\" alt=\"A young girl holds a candle outside in the dark.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2476-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sayana Mendez is illuminated by candles during a community gathering on Thursday in support of Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa workers who are trying to unionize. \u003ccite>(Aryk Copley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“That’s the difficulty of this particular law, the vagueness of it, the vagueness of the demarcation line between what’s permissible and what’s not,” Gould said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even when NLRB regulators find that employers have broken labor laws, the agency does not have the power to issue fines. The NLRB may seek to reinstate any workers who have been unlawfully fired. But with most other violations, regulators often just send guilty employers a “cease and desist” letter, said Gould, who chaired the NLRB during the Clinton administration and wrote the book \u003cem>For Labor to Build Upon\u003c/em>.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11940014,news_11940248,news_11928262\"]“It’s a slap on the wrist. A lot of people don’t take that too seriously,” he said. “It certainly works to the disadvantage of workers, particularly low-income workers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill in the last session of Congress would have given the NLRB the ability to issue monetary penalties for employers who commit unfair labor practices — up to $50,000 for each violation, or up to $100,000 if an employee is unlawfully discharged. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/842\">Protecting the Right to Organize Act\u003c/a> in 2021, but the measure died in the Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office of Rep. Bobby Scott (D-VA), who authored the bill, did not confirm whether he plans to reintroduce a similar measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The allegations against Fairmont Sonoma are hardly unique.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationwide, \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/publication/unlawful-employer-opposition-to-union-election-campaigns/\">employers were charged with violating labor law in more than 40% of union elections between 2016 and 2017\u003c/a> — with allegations ranging from retaliation to firing, according to a 2019 report by the left-leaning nonprofit Economic Policy Institute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Employers want to avoid unions because they believe it’s costly,” said Margaret Poydock, policy analyst with the group, who co-authored the analysis. “Unions are essentially a vehicle to help increase wages, benefits and work conditions, but also a vehicle for workplace democracy, for employers and workers to talk to each other to improve all these things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some companies are willing to invest significant resources to prevent workers from organizing and bargaining collectively. Poydock’s research shows that \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/publication/unlawful-employer-opposition-to-union-election-campaigns/\">employers nationwide spend about $340 million per year to hire “union avoidance advisers,”\u003c/a> also known as “persuaders.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11940730\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11940730\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273.jpg\" alt=\"A woman plays guitar while standing outside among a crowd of demonstrators.\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/02/DSC2273-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Renee Saucedo, a member of the group Almas Libres, performs at Thursday’s vigil in support of a union organizing effort among workers at the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn and Spa. \u003ccite>(Aryk Copley/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Arguello, the bar captain at the resort, said it shouldn’t be that way. “If the employees want to organize a union, I feel that they should be able to do so,” said Arguello, who recently moved from Sonoma to Vallejo — about 40 minutes away — because on his salary he struggled to afford rent in the area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There shouldn’t be coercion.

But before Loya could respond, she said, \"You look Indian. I’m going to call you my little Indian friend.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She did that for months, even after Loya told her he is not Indian but Black, Mexican and Japanese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A freshman at the time, Loya says he was afraid to speak out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn't say anything because I was ashamed of where I was, and I was scared and I didn't want any backlash,\" said Loya, who is now a junior. \"And also, I didn't want anybody to flip the script on me because I can count all the POCs that go to my school, you know?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A big part of his fear was being a minority student in a school where two-thirds of the students are white.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So if you think about it, they can all come against us,” Loya said. “And that's a scary thing to think about.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Loya put up with it. Other students of color at West County High say they have, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hear racial slurs most commonly in the boys' restrooms and the hallways. The N-word, racial slurs against Mexicans, Asian Americans,” said Dylan Peña Pérez, a senior who's nearing graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peña Pérez and several other students of color at West County High say these and other aggressions are commonplace.

At times I don't feel safe at school.'[/pullquote]He points to incidents like one earlier this year in which a white student called a Black student the N-word. The white student's five-day suspension was reduced to two days after she wrote an apology. Some students said reducing the penalty amounted to giving the white student \"a long weekend.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent girls' basketball game, two West County High School fans in the stands — a white student and an Asian student — made gorilla sounds when Black players from the opposing team took the floor. The home team suffered no consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in early April, a racist \"promposal\" from a white student hit Instagram and made the rounds in the community. Jerry Loya saw the post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It said, ‘If I were Black, I'd be picking cotton, but I'm not, so I'm picking you. Prom?’ It's just blatant racism that she wasn't even trying to hide it. And she also had two or three other of her friends post it, too,” Loya said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suddenly Principal Shauna Ferdinandson’s office phones were ringing off the wall from people throughout Sebastopol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody in every demographic of student showed up, up in arms about what they were looking at,” said Ferdinandson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on the newly formed Antiracist Student Committee who had been trying to get Ferdinandson to see the pervasive racism they were experiencing said it was only after the racist promposal went public that the principal took action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I'm gonna be honest, I truly feel they don't know how and what to do because I think that they're more worried about their image rather than helping a solution and a cause,” Loya said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11913513\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11913513\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"West County High School Principal Shauna Ferdinandson seated in her office.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7512-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">West County High School Principal Shauna Ferdinandson. \u003ccite>(Julia McEvoy/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The students led a school walkout in protest over the promposal in late April. About 300 of West County's 1,100 students left their tutorial period to gather in the school’s shady courtyard. They wore white T-shirts emblazoned with antiracist slogans in red ink.

He subsequently transferred to another school while the white students who targeted him suffered no punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal report also said that facts it uncovered during its investigation — including use of the N-word on campus and school surveys that showed substantial numbers of Latino, Black and mixed-race students reporting episodes of racist harassment — showed that students of color were being subjected to a hostile environment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferdinandson was vice principal at the school then. She says she built lessons about racism and empathy to comply with an agreement between the West County district and the Office for Civil Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/o7soCyte1RE\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We implemented everything they asked for,\" Ferdinandson says, but acknowledges that after she became principal in 2019, progress stalled due to the pandemic and having to manage the consolidation of two high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Ferdinandson says the school acted immediately to bring in the students behind the racist promposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We had consequences around all of that. And we've told everyone that we are dealing with this, and we are taking it seriously,” she said. She said she could not give specifics due to student privacy concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The racism at West County High isn’t isolated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Across the country, \u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/assets/gao-22-104341.pdf\">almost a quarter of all students age 12 to 18 saw hate words or symbols written in their schools in school year 2018-19\u003c/a>, including homophobic slurs and references to lynching. Hate crimes targeting students also increased that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week Black high school students in Fresno are \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/education-lab/article261253287.html\">demanding school leaders stop racist images\u003c/a> circulating on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently there are 263 cases of racial discrimination in elementary and secondary schools being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many students of color at West County High who spoke about experiencing racism would not share their experiences publicly for this story for fear of being confronted by their white peers at school. Some said their parents are immigrants who worry their children will get hurt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peña Pérez says speaking out has made him uneasy. “At times it feels as if I'm putting a target on myself, especially at a predominantly white community that is Sebastopol.

Jerry Loya was one of nine who took the stage. “This is like a battle, this is a war we have to keep fighting,” he said afterward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that as difficult as the situation is for him, at least the topic of racism is out in the open and people are talking about it. And that resulted in a concrete gesture from a fellow student. The girl who called him her “little Indian friend” wrote him an apology after the assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was a big step for me, too,\" Loya said. \"She also got a lot of backlash for it, which I don't want to say is a good thing, but it is also a good thing, because it just shows that other people are listening to my story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He's right: Other people are listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After three months of students demanding that the district remove several plaques that had been donated by Native Sons of the Golden West starting in 1935, including one embedded in the concrete at the entrance to West County High, the district's board of trustees took up the issue for a vote on May 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://encyclopedia.densho.org/Native_Sons_of_the_Golden_West/Native_Daughters_of_the_Golden_West/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Native Sons of the Golden West\u003c/a>, an organization that said it was dedicated to preserving \"the spirit of the 'Days of '49,'\" carried on a decades-long campaign to limit the rights of ethnic minorities in California, especially people of Japanese descent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arguing in 1942 on behalf of \u003ca href=\"https://www.yesmagazine.org/opinion/2018/11/02/this-isnt-the-first-time-white-supremacists-have-tried-to-cancel-birthright-citizenship\">a lawsuit that sought to remove Japanese American citizens from San Francisco's voter rolls\u003c/a>, the Native Sons' attorney told a federal judge that the Constitution was “by and for white people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11913514\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11913514\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-800x564.jpg\" alt=\"A 1935 plaque from Native Sons of the Golden West at West County High School in Sebastopol, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-800x564.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-1020x719.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-1536x1083.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-2048x1444.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/05/IMG_7516-1920x1354.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Native Sons of the Golden West donated this plaque to the school in 1935.

Por ejemplo, no exige que los planificadores de catástrofes sepan dónde se concentran las comunidades LGBTQ+. Le gustaría que los legisladores presentaran un proyecto de ley que obligará a los gobiernos a analizar dónde viven las personas LGBTQ+ y a utilizar esos datos para planificar las catástrofes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Esos son los puntos ciegos que tiene incluso California”, dijo. “Esencialmente, la comunidad LGBTQ+ aquí en California y en toda la nación se vuelve invisible en el contexto de los desastres, las políticas públicas y la planificación”.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>El hogar es una “dura batalla”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Méndez y los demás investigadores también recomiendan encarecidamente que los planes de catástrofe reflejen las estructuras únicas de las familias LGBTQ+.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Algunos individuos LGBTQ+ siguen siendo rechazados por sus familiares”, dijo. “Tienen una familia elegida que consideran parte de su familia inmediata, y debería ser reconocida”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cuando las comunidades LGBTQ+ participan en la reducción de su propio riesgo, Méndez afirma que las pérdidas derivadas de una catástrofe son mucho menores.

Esto podría incluir la financiación y la formación de centros comunitarios LGBTQ+ que ya existen para que estos puedan calificarse como refugios de emergencia federales y estatales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El estudio señala que la gran cantidad de ayuda proviene de fuentes religiosas y que muchas personas LGBTQ+ no se sienten cómodas recibiendo apoyo de individuos que se niegan a reconocer esta comunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los investigadores se refieren a \u003ca href=\"https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2013/06/13/a-survey-of-lgbt-americans/\">una encuesta del Pew Research Center de 2013\u003c/a> (sólo disponible en inglés) en la que la mayoría de los encuestados “por márgenes abrumadores” calificaron a las seis principales religiones “como más antipáticas que amistosas” hacia la comunidad LGBTQ+.

PG&E had initiated a wildfire safety power shutoff in much of the county, but had left a high-voltage transmission line energized in The Geysers geothermal field, northwest of Calistoga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11829285/pge-was-responsible-for-2019s-kincade-fire-cal-fire-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cal Fire announced\u003c/a> last July that its investigation of the fire traced the cause to a PG&E transmission tower in The Geysers. The firefighting agency said an energized cable on the tower had broken free, swung against the tower and caused an arc — a prolonged electrical discharge. Molten metal fell into the surrounding vegetation and, with winds in the area gusting over 80 mph, the resulting blaze began racing toward the towns of Geyserville and Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The wildfire destroyed 174 homes and 200 other structures, burning vineyards and prompting authorities to order 100,000 residents from Geyserville, Windsor and Santa Rosa to leave their homes. Six firefighters were injured as crews struggled to stop the flames from making a catastrophic leap into more densely populated neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Sonoma County District Attorney Jill Ravitch said she and others from her office began investigating the scene of the fire start in 2019 “as soon as it was safe to do so.” After Cal Fire concluded its probe and turned its findings over to Sonoma County, Ravitch said, the office’s investigators interviewed dozens of witnesses, issued search warrants and obtained hundreds of thousands of pages of documents for review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The day after the fire started, PG&E made a preliminary report, noting that Cal Fire crews had spotted damage on a transmission tower near the fire’s suspected point of origin. In the following days, Bill Johnson, PG&E’s CEO at the time, said repeatedly that the tower where the problem occurred had been inspected four times in the two years before the fire, and that several maintenance issues found on equipment there had been addressed.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11841815,news_11824596,news_11829285\"]Last year, PG&E declined to comment on Cal Fire’s investigation, saying it didn’t have access to the agency’s report or to the evidence it was based on. But in February, the utility acknowledged — apparently \u003ca href=\"https://www.abc10.com/article/news/local/wildfire/pge-executive-power-line-sparked-kincade-fire/103-370b4bb8-a518-4725-822a-4103c7429295\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">for the first time\u003c/a> in public — that it had caused the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We understand at a high level that our equipment was responsible for that fire,” Aaron Johnson, the company’s vice president for wildfire safety, said during a California Public Utilities Commission workshop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, PG&E issued a statement saying it was “saddened by the property losses and personal impacts” due to the fire. The utility went on to say it will accept Cal Fire’s conclusions about the fire’s cause. But it disputed the notion the fire’s start involved any criminal wrongdoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not believe there was any crime here,” the company said. “We remain committed to making it right for all those impacted and working to further reduce wildfire risk on our system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuesday’s criminal complaint is just the latest legal difficulty for a company \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11841815/pge-under-investigation-in-connection-with-deadly-shasta-county-wildfire\">whose aging equipment has been shown to be\u003c/a> the cause of numerous massive fires that have killed more than 110 Californians since 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those wildfire calamities include the North Bay fires of October 2017, in which 22 people died in blazes that Cal Fire found to involve PG&E equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>PG&E also pleaded guilty to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11824596/pge-pleads-guilty-to-84-deaths-in-wildfire-that-destroyed-paradise\">84 counts of involuntary manslaughter\u003c/a> for the 2018 Camp Fire, which destroyed about 14,000 homes in and around the Butte County town of Paradise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those disasters set the stage for the company’s filing for bankruptcy protection in 2019 — a year that passed without anyone dying in a PG&E-related fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But last September, a tree fell on a PG&E power line southwest of Redding, in Shasta County, sparking a fire that killed four residents of a rural community. Cal Fire has turned over results of its investigation into that blaze — \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11852218/how-the-failure-to-remove-a-tree-could-have-sparked-zogg-fire\">the Zogg Fire\u003c/a> — to Shasta County prosecutors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Zogg Fire is also the subject of an ongoing inquiry by U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco, who oversees PG&E’s criminal probation for convictions arising from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11287618/pge-gets-3m-fine-for-san-bruno-blast-must-advertise-its-conviction-on-tv\">San Bruno natural gas pipeline blast\u003c/a> of September 2010, that killed eight people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alsup has questioned whether the tree that fell on the power line posed an obvious hazard and should have been removed, and has also raised questions about the competence and effectiveness of PG&E’s vegetation management program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge is currently weighing additional conditions of probation against the company, including whether to require it to consider the presence of hazardous trees near power lines when it decides on the scope of future public safety power shutoffs.\u003c/p>\n\n",

PG&E had initiated a wildfire safety power shutoff in much of the county, but had left a high-voltage transmission line energized in The Geysers geothermal field, northwest of Calistoga.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11829285/pge-was-responsible-for-2019s-kincade-fire-cal-fire-says\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Cal Fire announced\u003c/a> last July that its investigation of the fire traced the cause to a PG&E transmission tower in The Geysers. The firefighting agency said an energized cable on the tower had broken free, swung against the tower and caused an arc — a prolonged electrical discharge. Molten metal fell into the surrounding vegetation and, with winds in the area gusting over 80 mph, the resulting blaze began racing toward the towns of Geyserville and Healdsburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the following days, Bill Johnson, PG&E’s CEO at the time, said repeatedly that the tower where the problem occurred had been inspected four times in the two years before the fire, and that several maintenance issues found on equipment there had been addressed.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
