Howdy Vorts,
Home, home on the range, where the deer and the antelope play.. deer being
the fleeced and the antelope being the swift.
Texas, Our Texas,, where no man's life nor property is safe when the state
legislature is in session....
Stage set and curtain opens...
TXU of Dallas, a electric utility with a number of coal fired "smokeys'
cried to the state for help because they couldn't afford to install
scrubbers so the state worked out this deal where the state would issue
bonds on the state's nickel to cover the cost of shutting down the plants
or cleaning them up. Utilities got to raise rates to cover payment of
bonds... ok. so far , so good... except.. the utilities took the money,
sold the plants and the new owners cried foul ! no problemo!..Just run it
past the bond market again.. and again.. until every buck has been wrung
outa the deal.
Last week, TXU was " acquired" " privatized" by an " enterprise" led by
KKR and Texas Energy partners. Leading up to the acquisition was lotsa
heat from the environmentalist that demanded they agree to clear up the
stacks.
Well, to make a long story short.. a few deals were cut and an agreement
to close a few worthless plants that were already for the scrap heap.. led
to some interesting" profit taking" among the players.. no one knows what
role Jesse from Detroit played but it was announced in the news that our
esteemed ex sec of state James Baker 111 received ONE MILLION SHARES of
the new enterprise for his ability to smile before the camera. hmmm.. was
that the guy that was sent to Florida to validate the Bush victory over
Gore?
No place but Texas.. just read our state motto " Don't mess with Texas"
hmmm.
