Doug,

Apparently we are talking past each other. Superficially, AB 1890 is the culprit, all right. But it'd be a foolish mistake for me to accede to the notion that Steve Peace et. al. wrote that POS because the legislature thought it would benefit the citizenry of California. Nope, he allowed it to be for the most part written by the attorneys for the IOUs because they were paying him to be allowed to do so. Check back on the campaign contribution record of Mr. Peace during the 1996 campaign season and it'll become obvious who's responsible for AB 1890. Unfortunately for the State of California, Peace was no Jesse Unruh (the most famous Speaker of the California House until Willie Brown broke all the rules and all the records) who famously said: "If you can't take their money and then vote against them, you don't belong in politics."

Well, Steve Peace doesn't belong in politics.

The rest of your reply seems to be a non sequitor and non-responsive to my post. I fail to see why. But, que sera sera. It seems that not only did $10B disappear from the state's coffers recently, but the truth, and sound analysis, are now missing as well.

Regards, Ray
