The state's three major utilities each proposed in April to implement a fixed charge based on customers' income. The lowest-income users would pay the smallest fixed charge while the highest earners would pay the largest to cover the upgrade, maintenance and transitioning of the electric grid as California moves toward net zero carbon pollution by 2045. |
The commission's final decision on the plans is expected by July 2024. After that, utilities will get additional time for implementation. | Workers install solar panels during the completion phase of a 4-acre solar rooftop atop AltaSea's research and development facility at the Port of Los Angeles, in the San Pedro neighborhood, on April 21, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

A boss paid a former employee with 91,500 dirty pennies. It cost him. |
Andreas Flaten, a former employee at A OK Luxury Autoworks in Peachtree City, Georgia, contacted the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division after owner Miles Walker failed to give him his final paycheck. Walker retaliated by paying Flaten's final wages of $915 in "91,500 oil-covered pennies" with a pay stub "marked with an expletive to the worker's home," according to a press release from the Labor Department. |
Walker was ordered to pay Flaten and more than a half-dozen coworkers nearly $40,000 for back wages and liquidated damages. |
