SoCalGas Benefits From Settlement Money

Last week the state of CA and City of Los Angeles has reached a tentative settlement with SoCalGas for 119.5M dollars. SoCalGas will directly benefit for 26.5M that will be used on methane capturing technology at factory farms in the central valley. The idea that SoCalGas will financially benefit from their role in poisoning tens of thousands of Angelenos is disgraceful. No money from the settlement should be investing in infrastructure that will directly benefit SoCalGas. Some money is allocated for health studies and monitoring. 7.1 million is going to provide air filtration systems in "environmental justice" communities throughout LA County. Instead of paying 7.1M to clean the air for those communities why don't we #ShutItAll and stop poisoning the air to begin with. We don't need to choose between having energy or poisoning a portion of our population. We can have energy and clean air, we just need political will. Los Angeles and the state of California needed to do better. You can let them know by commenting on the settlement HERE
