ive looked all over the bakersfield.com website and didnt find it.. So i am assuming the Californian didnt run it
so then why??? here it is from the LA TIMES
Campaign contribution: An article in some editions of Wednesday's California section about Pacific Gas & Electric Co. giving $250,000 to the No on Proposition 8 campaign said Wells Fargo had made contributions to defeat Proposition 8. It has not. Wells Fargo's contributions to the civil rights and advocacy organization Equality California -- which is working against the proposition -- were directed to its charitable activities.
now..gay marriage is a hot topic, and tends to bring high emotions to the table, so lets look at it with a difference civil liberty........why would a public utilities company donate 250k to, lets say, anti-gun legislation???
Also.. remember that PG&E filed for bankruptcy a few years ago during the rolling blackouts, but now they can fork over 250k for a political donation??? is it legal for a PUC to donate politically??
what is going on here???
Three women named in fight outside courthouse

Three Bakersfield women arrested after a brawl broke out in front of the downtown courthouse Tuesday have been identified by the Kern County Sheriff’s Department.
Quemesha Ellis, 21, and Jamika Walker, 20, were arrested on suspicion of fighting in public and resisting arrest.
Karnesha Sawyers, 28, was arrested on one count of suspicion of fighting in public.
The fighting broke out at just after 11 a.m. outside the glass doors of the county justice building at Truxtun and Chester avenues.
Sheriff’s deputies assigned to Kern County Superior Court used pepper spray to break up the fight.
What apparently began inside the courthouse as a verbal exchange between two families escalated into a physical confrontation outside.
Other women who were not arrested were left wiping pepper spray residue from their eyes following the incident.
A witness said the women had been attending a hearing for 21-year-old Michael Montgomery, who is accused of driving drunk and ramming his vehicle into a tree earlier this year, killing two passengers in the car.
The incident apparently erupted between members of the victims’ families and the defendant’s supporters.
anyone wanna bet a lawyer will jump at the chance to sue the county for the use of pepperspray?
Armando Antonio Morataya, 54, Bakersfield, July 18. Visitation 5 to 9 p.m. with wake at 7 p.m. July 22, Basham Funeral Care Chapel; graveside service 10 a.m. July 23, Greenlawn Mortuary.
i just got through reading his obit in the paper. i am not attempting to whitewash the city workers for what they did, i am bashing the family that is all too quick to make some cash
where the hell were you, people named in the obit, while this man lived on the streets? obviously absent in this man's life when he needed you most, you now attempt to profit monitarily off of his horrible death? it doesnt get much lower than that. your actions speak volumes about what kind of people you are.
