The problem we are facing in California did not happen over night. It took 40 years of mismanagement by government agencies and PG&E. We may not agree on all the specifics regarding PG&E or politics however we can all agree we want to live in a safe community with access to affordable power. This is why we must ask our representatives to demand that PG&E maintain their power lines in order to decrease the need for Public Safety Power Shutoffs in the future. We also ask that government agencies practice forest and vegetation management.
