This is an eye popping articale…states by law peoples gas can pass on customers unpaid bill ( expected to hit $70 mill this year) to paying customers and are therefore under zero pressure to shutoff gas for nonpayment. Also, kwaume basically rolled over and allowed pg to keep spending w zero oversight on their gas infrastructure,,all past on to customers as price of natural gas plummets
