"Gov. Gray Davis pleaded with the Bush administration to impose price caps. But Bush, at Ken Lays' request, stiff armed these pleas for months as the people of California suffered.

Then the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, headed by Pat Wood, Enron's hand-picked nominee, approved caps that locked in high utility rates in California. Davis has accused Enron and other energy providers of overcharging consumers at least $8.9 billion.

Part of the scam was to shift blame for the crisis from Enron and the Bush administration to Davis and other Democratic officials. The hope was that outraged voters would oust them from office and elect a Republican governor and legislature in 2002."
