Survey finds Davis voters oppose the formation of a public utility

March 6, 2014

A plurality of Davis voters are not confident the City could do a better job than PG&E

 

A poll released by IBEW 1245 shows that Davis voters oppose establishing a public utility that would replace PG&E. A plurality of voters – 47% – said they would probably or definitely vote no on a ballot measure to create a new utility, with only 34% saying they would probably or definitely vote yes. Just over half of voters said they are not confident in the city of Davis’s ability to manage an electric utility.

“Davis voters see through the false promises,” said Hunter Stern, Business Representative for IBEW 1245, which commissioned the poll. “Politicians promise green power at no greater cost. But voters understand that’s just empty rhetoric.”

The poll was taken in late February by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz & Associates, a nationally respected firm, and was comprised of 400 telephone interviews with voters in the city of Davis.

“Davis deserves safe, reliable power that is truly green,” Stern said. “This plan is not it, and voters know it.”
