[pct-l] california's problems

[JohnDRandall at aol.com (JohnDRandall@xxxxxxx)]

Trace the problem in California back to ALL of the state politicians, 
regardless of political party, who allowed the energy companies to pressure/influence 
the state to deregulate the monopoly of Southern California Edison and 
Pacific Gas and Electric with regard to the supply of electricty.   Enron, etc.  
Billions of real dollars have vanished into paper profits, then burned into 
insolvancy...and the poor California citizens are left holding the bag.   Both 
liberal and conservative politicans bear the shame.   Who were the politicians who 
approved the bills?  Did the people vote on referendums?   I believe they 
did.   If there were state-wide referendums on the bills, then who is to blame?   
I'm afraid it's time to suck it up.   We can thank the work of the PCTA and 
all of us who support the PCT that most of the trail is in Federally-protected 
areas.
