Do you think taxpayers ought to be on the hook when a state-run electric company burns down a town, or should California invoke sovereign immunity when that happens?

They're on the hook anyway. Be it with rate increases or with discharging of debts in bankruptcy.

At least elected officials can be replaced.

They of course would be, if they were held to the same standard as PG&E.
