Wrong. It may have been his responsibility to fix but it wasn't his fault. > Did energy traders at ENRON and other desks completely feck with their energy > supply?? Dang straight. The public outcry that surrounded the energy manipulation was the direct cause of Gray's removal from office. > Had Mr. Davis done that he would've been able to stop the problem > and/or escalate it to the public and to the President if necessary. He did in fact attempt to take this problem to the Feds and was told to tuck tail and go home because it was a state problem. They basically laughed in his face due to his suggestions that their friends at Enron could possibly be doing anything wrong. > > (wow, the view from this soap box is pretty good; anybody else wanna come up > here?)

More like the belly of the beast. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:279333 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
