I have often given you the true legislative history of California's "deregulation bill", but you deliberately ignore it, ...LOL, you give it to me in your words, I give you facts with quotes and links to back them up. You have yet to show me anything (other than your own words) contrary to what I've posted.

The Republicans had a small majority LOL! in the Assembly, but the Democrats solidly controlled the Senate....

but it was quickly hijacked by the Dem Senator Steve Peace who headed the hearings on it and rammed his version down the throat of the Legislature

Well that doesn't say much for Republicans or having them in a majority or even Governor does it.

What if we had never deregulated?

“You’d still have a supply shortage and you wouldn’t have a (retail) rate cap, so prices would have skyrocketed,” said Sen. Jim Brulte, R-Rancho Cucamonga, the author of the 1996 law.

When you told the poster up above that he was wrong about who controlled the legislature at the time, you were wrong. Again

You deliberately misstate the facts because of your vendetta. I'd far rather be a nitwit than a liar

Actually that would make you the liar. Here's my copy and paste quote from post 25

"You are wrong. AB1890(Assembly Bill 1890) was authored by (R) Jim Brulte who was also Assembly Speaker when "the Republicans controlled the State Assembly in 1996"

Your showing your ignorance again "the legislature" includes the State Assembly. In order to control "the legislature" they would have to control both houses.....They didn't

Get it?

You told him he was wrong.

In fact, he was right. The Democrats controlled the state senate, and although the bill was introduced in the Assembly by a Republican, the final bill was written by Steve Peace, a Democrat.

In reality, the deregulation bill was a true bi-partisan effort, passed unanimously in both houses and signed by the Governor.

You selectively report facts in order to convey a far different impression, and you've been doing it for a long time.
