I just got back for DC and talking to my congressional delegation. My Congressman, Jay Inslee's cheif energy staff person, when we discussed energy deregulation said to me on Tuesday, that the Washington Post was carrying a smoking gun story about how Enron had been caught trying to game the market price. I told him that I was more concerned about some of the actions by the DWR and how I felt that neigher Enron nor the State of California had totally clean hands.
He glared at me, because the "democrats" still hope to make Enron into a political campaign re-election issue this fall. It is still part of their national strategy! That means articles like this in the Sac Bee are critical to keeping the dem's out of power! I will try to send a copy of the sac bee article to my congressman's staff person.
