The governor terms them 'a menace to society' in outrage over memos.

SACRAMENTO -- California Gov. Gray Davis, saying it is now clear that Enron Corp. intentionally forced the state into a crippling power crisis last year, Thursday demanded that top Enron executives be sent to jail for "one of the most shameful acts of corporate greed in American history."

"Someone has to go to jail for this," Davis said..."

Fascist Davis is breaking that poor bear's back! (Actually ours)

What is the rumor going around about people not getting their income tax refunds from Herr Davis and his SS whackos?

Last week, I heard this several times from people in the Carmel, Monterrey and Pacific Grove area. We caught the tail end of a couple of news programs where this was mentioned as a possibility!

I got my refund, but I filed early. My niece hasn't got her 'little' check and she 'Telefiled' on April 13(?)

We got our refund on the 10 th of May. We mailed it 4 weeks before the 15th of April in March.

I keep hearing things about no tax refunds checks for a while and that some might be bouncing. So, if anyone gets one, cash it quick.

Word is that the debt will be up over 30 billion by the time that June is over. I wish that I knew how much of a surplus that Davis inherited from Wilson when he took over. Because it is not just the in debt figure but how much surplus was wasted by the Davis regime of tax and spenders. Both must be added together for some reality. Apparently all types of Bill Clintoon tricks are being played re funding pension plans and other funding required by law.
