A #UtilityTax is always a bad idea, and yet ideas for new ones keep popping up from coast to coast

.Assemblymember Gregg Hart Why did you not vote for #AB1999? Is it because IBEW and the IOUs have paid you over $110,900??? At that point just say 'no' with your chest. Don't 'NVR' like someone who has no opinion on the matter. #Energy #Politics #CleanEnergy #UtilityTax

.Assemblymember Lisa Calderon Why would you not vote for #AB1999? That bill would have helped so many, STATEWIDE, save their money from the overreaching hands of the IOUs like Pacific Gas & Electric and SDG&E. Just know that your constituents are mad, and will be more mad when then #UtilityTax arrives.

I feel like Buffy Wicks was a real driving force behind the others choice to vote abstain or say no. Such a shame that she and all these ELECTED OFFICIALS chose to opt in favor of PG&E... #Corruption #Corrupt #UtilityTax #IOUsSuck #Energy #Politics #EnergyTwitter #PoliticsToday

The CEO of Pacific Gas & Electric, who heavily and timely lobbied against #AB1999 toward SEVERAL Assemblymembers the week of the bill's hearings, wants free rein on how much her rancid company can charge for rates as well as for a #UtilityTax. WE SAY NO, PATTI. YOU ARE CORRUPT!!!

Another rate hike is coming our way, including SMUD, thanks to .Gavin Newsom trailer bill SMUD customers, along with other CA ratepayers, could see about 32 cents/month & generate $150M in annual revenue for utilities. And then there is the #UtilityTax t.ly/xhXk1

It is sad that #AB1999 has died, but we can still CONTACT OUR LEGISLATORS to REGULATE this heinous #UtilityTax. It's bad enough that the bill is dead, we need to take the #Power into our OWN HANDS.

.CA Assembly Democrats California Assembly Republicans All those who voted no or didn't vote at all on #AB1999 have PROVEN to Californians that our elected officials that we put into office cannot be trusted and will always follow the path of money. Studies have shown that the #UtilityTax... 🧵

In early 2026, a new $24.15 monthly fixed charge will be added to your utility bill due to a decision by the CPUC. The #UtilityTax will go 🆙because it's uncapped. .Buffy Wicks killed AB1999. Except for 2 Senators, the rest didn't cast a single “no” vote t.ly/JcYyl

Sammy Roth Los Angeles Times California PUC California Governor Gavin Newsom CA Assembly Democrats Buffy Wicks And lack of support of #ab1999 which would’ve put some controls on Pacific Gas & Electric fixed charges going forward, which are a #utilitytax on renters, low-usage and solar consumers #noutilitytax

.Buffy Wicks Chair of Asm Appropriations, recommended a No vote to the committee on AB1999. The bill would have CAPPED the #UtilityTax. Impacts over 4M ratepayers that do not consume much electricity. Working and middle-income people who live in an apartment or small homes #Shame

Two D's on the committee voted for #AB1999, while the other 15 members of the panel refused to vote at all. Their constituents elected them to take positions on issues that impact their lives, like the #UtilityTax - not dodge them. latimes.com/environment/st…

Frank L. Caucus Redux AB1999, a bill that would put a cap on the upcoming $24 #UtilityTax.

The #UtilityTax passed last week by California PUC will increase bills on four million households. The people most harmed will be #renters, #seniors, and people who have #solarpanels.

.Alex Lee 李天明 As an original coauthor of #AB1999, I hope you are still in #Support of this bill! Although amended, the treatment Californians will get with this cap on the #UtilityTax is MUCH BETTER than the inconsistent and unreasonable price hikes from the IOUs!! #SupportAB1999

great video showing the truth, stats, and hurt from the people who will be affected by the #utilitytax. #supportAB1999 #energy

We are deeply troubled by California PUC's new fixed monthly utility charge. We're examining long-term impacts and stand ready to work with regulators/legislators on better safeguards, capping the #utilitytax, and sustainability reforms. LEARN MORE: fairca.org

Today we are calling on ⁦California PUC⁩ to reject the high #utilitytax today that would incentivize #energy waste, discourage #rooftopsolar and do nothing to encourage #EVs and #electricbuildings ⁦Environment California⁩

We must support clean energy solutions like rooftop solar to address climate change. Gavin Newsom, please stand up for solar by promoting #CommunitySolar and rejecting CA’s #UtilityTax in time for this month’s #VaticanClimateSummit. Pope Francis #SaveSolar
