Power restored after outage delays California Legislature

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Power has been restored after an outage in California’s capital city has left much of the downtown area in the dark and delayed the start of the state Legislature. The Sacramento Municipal Utilities District reported 650 customers were without power on Thursday. That figure likely represents thousands of people as multiple high-rise office buildings and the state Capitol were affected. The utility’s website said crews were working to replace a transformer. Power was restored by late morning. The state Legislature had been scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. The outage delayed the Assembly for a half hour.
