California lawmakers rejected Gov. Gavin Newsom's bid to include another $400 million for Pacific Gas & Electric in the state budget due to concerns over repayment amidst a $45 billion deficit, despite a previous $1.4 billion deal to keep Diablo Canyon operational until 2030. Sen. Benjamin Allen expressed frustration in feeling taken advantage of during budget hearings.
Lawmakers are questioning promises of reimbursement for hundreds of millions in loans to PG&E amidst unclear conditions. Gov. Newsom's proposed $288 billion budget is facing scrutiny and negotiation, with cuts to core services like Medi-Cal, as the state grapples with financial challenges.
