Muni utilities get treated with kid's gloves by courts though. I have direct personal experience of a muni burning nearly a quarter million acres, destroying over 500 homes and ~100K acres of timber. When it came to trial, the court capped their liability at $50m on day one. Their employees even joked about what an outrageous fire hazard all their lines were over text just a few days before it happened. The funniest part is the utility increased rates...but only for people living in the fire-affected areas. |
