California is [was] still demanding that FERC order the energy companies to refund the state $8.9 billion for overcharging the state for electricity during its yearlong energy crisis.

Arnie met with Lay, Milken 2 years earlier to discuss the recall. The governor has the ability to negotiate a settlement to the tune of 10 cents on the dollar, or less. That is not small potatoes when the number owed is $8.9 billion.

a take-down job.  They could have tried to tempt Davis with high-priced call girls, but this way Enron was able to bilk CA for a ton of money.  All the better for Bush's former buddy, the Late Kenny Boy Lay.
