The long term contracts stopped the extortion. Nuts. It made a bunch of execs very rich at the time. And the stupe did help drive prices up and then commit the state to long term contracts at or near the top. Contracts which the state has been trying to wiggle out of since. If they were so good, why is the state trying to break them now. It was so bad, there was speculation that he had an interest in the companies. Over time much of that money will be returned, but lawsuits are slow and expensive. Nuts. Most of the companies that got most of the money are in bankruptcy or near it. The suits will put any remaining ones in. One cent on the $. If that. WTF do you care who our guv is, anyway, smartass? This is our state, not yours.
