More data on this. Our attorney general is one arrogant SOB:
When asked if he regretted taking $50,000 from Oracle, the most of any California politician, Lockyer quipped: "I was wishing it was more," but added that his attorneys would conduct a professional investigation.
It might be of interest to see how much Whoreacle has contributed the Mexican Version of the PA's, La Raza!

SACRAMENTO – Bill Lockyer, California’s Attorney General, is an authoritarian thug who should resign. That’s the view of Tom Palmer, a senior fellow of the Cato Institute, based on a statement Lockyer made in a press conference about Kenneth Lay, chairman of Enron Corporation. " I would love to personally escort Lay to an 8-by-10 cell that he could share with a tattooed dude who says ‘Hi, my name is Spike, honey,’” Lockyer said. Palmer is one of the few to consider the serious implications of that statement. The Attorney General of California is the chief law enforcement official of the most populous state. But as holder of that office, Mr. Lockyer, “not only has admitted that rape is a regular feature of the state’s prison system, but also that he considers rape a part of the punishment he can inflict on others.” What if, Palmer speculates, the head of Enron were female?

It is hard for me to believe that a potential customer the size of California state government would have to go through a third party reseller. That sounds pretty strange to me. Just more fingers in the cookie jar if you ask me.

A state senator whose son works for Oracle arranged a meeting between Logicon -- Oracle's reseller in California... Anybody else find this odd? As best as I can tell, Oracle usually sells direct to large companies and state governments. Why cut in a middleman?
Yet in this case, they did. Could it be that this was the best way to set it up to allow certain people to skim on the contract? Has this angle been pursued in the press? Will it be covered in the hearing?
Just wondering, and would be interested in any of you California folks can clarify.
