"5 State Energy Advisors Fired Over Conflicts

Ethics: The consultants were involved in buying electricity for California from a generator whose stock they owned, setting up a clash of official duties, personal interests.

By JEFFREY L. RABIN,DARYL KELLEY and RICH CONNELL, Times Staff Writers

The Davis administration, stung by charges of excessive secrecy, disclosed late Friday that it has fired five energy consultants because of conflicts of interest involving their official duties and personal finances. ..."

"...State law prohibits officials from participating in decisions involving their personal financial interests.

Although portraying himself as seriously concerned that such conflicts could undermine public confidence, the governor has not required some of his most influential private-sector advisors to file the kind of disclosure statements that led to the firings.

Among them are two Wall Street veterans who have been most influential in promoting the governor's energy rescue plan, which includes the largest state bond sale in U.S. history...."
