Episode Notes
For decades, Virginia lawmakers have been more likely to show deference to Dominion Energy than to challenge their power. These days, Dominion isn't just the state's biggest public utility... it's also the state's biggest corporate political donor.
Not that everybody is okay with that. For years, some progressive Democrats have called out Dominion. This year, some Republicans have found common ground with those Democrats. Republicans in the House of Delegates and Democrats in the state Senate have introduced bills that would prohibit campaign donations from public utilities. Campaign donations that have a direct through-line to Dominion's outsized influence on state policy.
In this week's episode, we speak with journalist Peter Galuszka and Clean Virginia executive director Brennan Gilmore.
