Jerry Brown’s favorite color: Â greenback
Jerry Brown and the Democrat Party  received roughly $10 MILLION dollars donated by 26 energy companies.  The specifics:
Public interest group Consumer Watchdog  reported 8/10/2016  that twenty-six energy companies including the state’s three major investor-owned utilities, Occidental, Chevron, and NRG—all with business before the state—donated $9.8 million to Jerry Brown’s campaigns, causes, and initiatives, and to the California Democratic Party since he ran for Governor.
Donations were often made within days or weeks of winning favors. The three major investor-owned utilities alone contributed nearly $6 million.
Pay for play at work:  An exhaustive review of campaign records, publicly-released emails and other documents at PUCPapers.org, court filings, and media reports, shows that Brown personally intervened in regulatory decisions favoring the energy industry.
The review  shows how  Brown and his operatives used  the Democratic Party as a political slush fund
to receive contributions from unpopular energy companies in amounts greater than permitted to his candidate committee.
Between 2011 and 2014, the energy companies tracked by Brown’s Dirty Hands donated $4.4 million to the Democratic Party, and the Democratic Party gave$4.7 million to Brown’s re-election. Earmarking to the Democratic Party is illegal.
Consumer Watchdog is forwarding its report to the Fair Political Practices Commission.
Firenze Sage: Â Oh Jerry — Â say it isn’t so — you global warming dust devil.
