A lengthy, but factual report from the San Jose Mercury News is referred to in my post # 204. The Mercury does depict Peace as a champion of the bill but only because Brulte couldn't get it passed in a Democrat controlled State Senate. The Republicans ruled the Assembly. Frankly, I think both parties had their pockets lined and I won't vote for any politician that was in office in 1996 irregardless of their party affiliation. The situation has gone beyond partisan politics and I only address it in that light because so many Republicans are trying to spin it politically. Most Republicans I know in this state claim the energy crisis is only the result of "tree huggers" trying to keep power plants from being built. I am sure that there was some effect, but I am also told that the utes themselves were against building more generating plants. I believe the situation is the result of free market greed with political backup. My sentiments are best described in the following post from someone who understands the economic ramifications better than I: Message 15630059
