PG to Pay San Luis Obispo County $16 Million for Diablo Canyon Plant's Extended Operations

PG to Pay San Luis Obispo County $16 Million for Diablo Canyon Plant's Extended Operations

Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PG&E) will pay San Luis Obispo County $16 million to compensate for the discontinued unitary tax associated with the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. The plant's operations were extended until 2030, and it received a 20-year license extension from the federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission to operate until 2045. However, this longer extension is not yet authorized under current California state law, which caps operational extensions until 2030. The $16 million payment, sourced from PG&E shareholders rather than taxpayers or customers, will be distributed in two installments of $8.3 million, with the first due by December 31, 2026. This compensation addresses the loss of a property tax that PG&E previously paid to local entities based on the plant's value and earnings, which amounted to approximately $25 million annually as of 2022. Senator John Laird introduced a bill to secure this funding, though PG&E voluntarily agreed to the payment.

Former Senator Steven Bradford Challenges Ridley-Thomas Bribery Conviction, Citing Conflict with California Law

Former Senator Steven Bradford Challenges Ridley-Thomas Bribery Conviction, Citing Conflict with California Law

Former Los Angeles County Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas, whose bribery conviction was affirmed by a three-judge panel, is seeking an en banc rehearing by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Former state Senator Steven Bradford has filed an amicus brief in support of Ridley-Thomas, arguing that the conduct for which Ridley-Thomas was convicted is permissible under California state law. Ridley-Thomas was convicted on March 30, 2023, of one count of bribery and six related felonies. The conviction stems from a 2018 transfer of $100,000 from Ridley-Thomas's political fund to the University of Southern California's Suzanne Dworak-Peck School of Social Work, which then donated the same amount to United Ways of California's Policy Research & Practice Initiative, a think tank led by Ridley-Thomas's son, Sebastian Ridley-Thomas. The three-judge panel, comprising Judges Johnnie B. Rawlinson, Morgan B. Christen, and Anthony D. Johnstone, affirmed the conviction and a three-and-a-half-year prison sentence on Augu...
