Tom,
I looked for and found a report of the speech in the LA Times:
http://www.latimes.com/business/reports/power/lat_davis010109.htmThat also provided a very good link to a thorough background article on the quagmire brought on by the deregulation strategy:
http://www.latimes.com/business/reports/power/earlier/lat_dereg001209.htmAbsolutely shocking (no pun intended - darn Tasker...) - its terrible that your State and its citizens are being subjected to this nonsense. Hopefully, as the article says, other States are watching these profiteers at their very worst.
