A new investigative report by Consumer Watchdog explains the sudden reversal by electric worker and corporate lobbyist Scott Wetch to support a controversial energy bill SB 540 (Becker), known as “Pathways,” which cedes control over California environmental laws to Trump.
“Once a vocal opponent of California entering a regional energy grid, Wetch now backs the very policy he previously claimed would devastate California’s environment, raise rates, and cost millions of jobs,” said Justin Kloczko, author of “Dirty Deal: How A Corporate Utility Fixer Is Poised To Turn Over California Climate Law To Trump.” “To understand Wetch’s flip, you just need to follow the money.”
The report traces the economic motivations for Wetch’s change of heart and the massive wealth the worker lobbyist has accumulated, including a $13 million real estate portfolio with a $4 million dollar ocean view home in Maui, which he notoriously shopped for on the Fox Business TV show “American Dream Home.”
