Of course, there will be vigorous denunciation of the state's actions by governor Davis, and prosecution for those involved. Why are you laughing?

[John Jorsett]

Why does this story not surprise me?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Good one!

But its directors are appointed by the governor, and its hybrid nature makes it vulnerable to political influence

Yep, that is what Davis does best!

The ISO employee has been fired...

What? Lockyer didn't personally escort him to a jail cell to meet his home-boy named Spike?

[sailor4321]

I see at least two jailable violations: price fixing and a RICO violation. Instead, the Democrat administration fired the poor bastard who was told to make the call and just swept the rest under the rug.

"There comes a time when the machinery of power becomes so corrupt that the only way to stop it and the only right thing to do is for the people to throw their bodies on the machinery to stop it" --- paraphrase of Mario Savio, 1964.

No law, no peace!

These government employees, I dunno what to say. It's like they are communists. They can't stand it when someone else makes money. It's so bizarre that the ISO would intervene just to screw up someone else's profit potential. It wasn't going to save the state anything. All it would do is hurt someone else.

Enron and the ISO in bed together. What a scandal. Simon should get some leverage from this.

This is news?

Nothing shocks me about California politics and finances.

Gray Davis hates the private sector, except for the campaign donations he extorts from them.

This is totally in keeping with his philosophy.

Expect the writer of this to take a long walk on a mountain lion infested path, soon.

This is consistent with the way the Davis Administration (who watched Clinton very closely) works--accuse others of exactly what you are doing yourself.

How often have we heard the Davis shills and their media accomplices cry, "price gouging, price gouging", yet here we see the ISO pressuring suppliers to manipulate the market.

Reminds me of the case last year when two (laid off) union flunkies who worked for one of the big power producers in CA (can't remember which) claimed that their bosses told them to ramp down production in order to make more money. As it turned out, the ramping down was done at the behest of the CA ISO. But what do people remember--that the union flunkies testified that their evil, greedy company was gaming the market, that's what.

Incredible. Simply incredible...

[freebilly]

Naturally, CA Republicans are to blame for this..., somehow....

[Saundra Duffy]

But the lack of outrage has been deafening.

Well, I'm pissed.

[d14truth]

SQUAT!!!

Gov. Davis' re-election chances?

[LibertarianLiz]

Bump for a later read to hubby.

[freebilly]

Enron is a convenient whipping boy now. The Grayists will escape unscathed because the Dems are effectively tieing all the problems to the Evil Enron Empire. The California public nods its head in sheeplike agreement.

[marty60]

I wonder if the Evil Dums in D.C. are going to see how many phone calls ole leftie Gray made to these guys. Or is it going to reach a point where the Evil ones just say.....NEVER MIND.
