LA fire survivors say Newsom is trying to help utilities reduce their wildfire costs again
LA fire survivors and the insurance industry criticize Governor Gavin Newsom for allegedly supporting last-minute legislative efforts to shift wildfire costs from utilities to policyholders. Proposed measures include limiting victim compensation, blocking insurance companies from recovering costs, and capping attorneys' fees, which critics claim favor utility companies through opaque 'gut-and-amend' tactics.
