A lobbyist hired to secure a state loan to help tens of thousands of victims of devastating California wildfires is leaving his job amid a sexual harassment scandal, it was announced Wednesday.
Patrick McCallum and the PG&E Fire Victim Trust “have agreed to part ways, effective immediately, in light of certain recent publicly disclosed developments,” a trust statement said.The developments were a “distraction” from the trust’s work of helping some 70,000 wildfire victims rebuild their lives, trust administrator John Trotter said in the statement.
The fires were blamed on Pacific Gas & Electric’s long-neglected electrical grid, and the company was forced into bankruptcy, from which it emerged in 2020.
