Brown blamed for surcharge increase in California
Sacramento reports show the state Board of Equalization raised the electrical surcharge to 0.15 mill, a 50 percent hike. Chairman William Bennett criticized Gov. Edmund G. Brown Jr for approving a larger energy commission budget, arguing the rise funds a bloated state government and a $3 billion surplus. The energy commission budget climbed from 6 million to 14.5 million, then to over 20 million, prompting the decision.
