Carpet-Bombing Continues — Campaign Consultants Rejoice

(Editor’s Note: A review on the Secretary of State’s website of the late and $5,000 or more contributions received by the “Yes on 16/ Californians to Protect Our Right to Vote” campaign shows that Pacific Gas & Electric has, so far, donated $50.6 million. Logic suggests such an investment by the investor-owned utility would  likely be made for self-interest rather than a selfless desire to protect voters from profligate decisions by their locally elected representatives. These are voters who, even without passage of Proposition 16, are free to vote out any or all of those elected officials should they make bad decisions.)
