The 2015 Butte Fire burned 77,000 acres and destroyed 500 homes. The court determined long ago, as did Cal Fire, that PG&E was responsible for causing that fire. After more than 3 years of litigation, PG&E agreed to pay at least some of the most desperate victims what is due them. PG&E was supposed to make those payments today. But it didn’t. Instead, it is reneging. Is PG&E holding on to the money so it can instead pay Geisha Williams, the CEO who was in charge when the file started, her $2.5 million bonus?
