Enron came out pretty well for its campaign contribution money, according to the sage from Austin, Molly Ivins: Here are a few of the things Enron got: The 1992 decision to deregulate energy futures markets. The Phil Gramm ($97,000 in contributions) legislation that exempted key parts of Enron from government oversight. The Bush administration's energy policy. The Bush administration's decision to drop the effort to go after off-shore money laundering (Enron had more than 800 offshore accounts). Enron executive Thomas White as secretary of the Army, where he promptly moved to privatize the Army's energy needs. A weakened and underfunded Securities and Exchange Commission. Energy deregulation in California and elsewhere, through bills largely written by energy lobbyists.
