...BIGGEST MUNICIPAL BOND ISSUE IN HISTORY

Legislators in Sacramento passed a measure which would pave the way for a $13.4 billion bond issue to replenish state money used to buy power on the utilities' behalf -- what would be the biggest municipal bond issue in U.S. history.

The 49-29 vote in the state Assembly fell short of the needed two-thirds majority needed to pass the bond measure as emergency legislation, meaning the bill will have to wait at least 90 days to take effect as regular legislation.

The state Senate passed another measure which would impose a 100 percent windfall profits tax on generators who charge more for electricity than a certain baseline price, a move aimed at the out-of-state power companies that many Californians believe have used the crisis to gouge their pocketbooks.

``This sends a clear message to electrical suppliers that we are just not going to take this anymore,'' said Democratic Sen. Nell Soto.


No, it sends a message to the world that you're a bunch of f*cking morons. What a disgrace...
