Let's see, first he says that Peace was the "author" of the deregulation plan. Then he shifts gears slightly, and says, "Many of the state’s budget woes can be traced back to the Governor and Peace’s deregulation plan," so now the plan was Davis' and Peace's, even though Davis wasn't in office when the place was first passed. Further, he says that the energy crisis the plan created (without any help from rogue traders and corrupt companies, of course) was the "cause" of "many of the state's budget woes." Finally, two paragraphs later, he says that "many of the problems facing California will also face many other states of the nation." So it turns out that even states without an energy crisis are facing fiscal crisis.

No bias in this writer, is there?

You can’t build prosperity on regulation, taxation, and debt, of which the state has plenty of all three.

Ah, the spin continues.

With 20-20 historical vision, we know that California's taxation and debt situation was accelerated by our failed attempt at deregulation.

By the way... DUH?
