Just keep voting for Democrat politicians.

Total mis management of a utility… This just doesn’t “ pop up” and ohhh… to cover our ineptitude we’ll raise your rate. Termination for all Excs.

That’s Biden and Newsom votes at work.

Of course it has, no surprise there. The media just sells lies that their forced to push nointegrity Socal gas is raising rates purposely to cover their losses from the law suit in porter ranch. Socal gas customers will cover the loss apparently. And GavinNewsom does nothing.

Abandon natural gas to heat and cook in our homes with electricity that we create with oil Newsom is a 🤡

That’s what happens when you vote for a President that is anti fossil fuels.

Democrats mismanagement of the state is bankrupting everyone.

California keeps the price of gasoline high to force residents to switch to EVs and now they're making the price of NatGas high to force residents to switch to electric appliances.

Damn crooks.

Failed Democrat policies.

The government needs money and the gas companys as well

This is the Biden way!
