But the California Cancer Registry has now completed three studies that show cancer rates remained normal in from 1988 to 2008.

From a very strange story by the Los Angeles Times' Louis Sahagun, who starts out with the Registry's findings but then lists more anecdotes about residents (including an eight-year old dog) who claim PG&E-related ailments:

    From 1996 to 2008, 196 cancers were identified among residents of the census tract that includes Hinkley — a slightly lower number than the 224 cancers that would have been expected given its demographic characteristics, said epidemiologist John Morgan, who conducted the California Cancer Registry survey.
  Hmm more lies from the left??????

Yep. 

"That industry that will employ your men, raise the standard of living for your community, increase the tax base while trimming the welfare rolls...will give you CANCER!  So shut it down, and stay on welfare.  You'll be better off, really.  Oh, and vote for us so the checks keep coming."
