An angry and growing number of victims of El Paso's fraudulent behavior disagree: lawseminars.org RETURN TO ENERGY REGULATION IN CALIFORNIA September 26 & 27, 2002 San Francisco, CA Holiday Inn Golden Gateway A B O U T T H E C O N F E R E N C E “Although California’s energy market crisis has receded, the political, economic and legal after-math continues to both guide and limit policy responses. In many respects, the promises of restructuring have proven false or been undermined by poor market structure design. Policymakers are struggling to revise the rules of the game, promote stability and prevent possible manipulation of outcomes. The continuing investigations into actions by market participants serve as the backdrop for a state goal of returning to traditional cost-of-service regulation by the California Public Utilities Commission. Complicating factors include the contentious lines of federal/state jurisdiction, the continuing Pacific Gas & Electric bankruptcy case and the uncertain prospects for economic recovery in California. This program will provide attendees with the latest information on policy and law related to the California electricity and natural gas marketplace, with a special focus on the resurgence of regulatory activities at the state and federal levels.” Program Co-Chairs: Edwin F. Feo, Esq. and Arthur O’Donnell. Credits: CA 13.5 MCLE; WA 14.25 CLE; Call about others. Who Should Attend? Attorneys, government officials and industry executives. ****************************************************** The "Free Market" is a fraud the crooks are still in charge. Time for this nation to end this madness. -Ray
