From the L.A. Times.... some bad news.


I hope Governor Brown remembers this includes or should include the $400-million or so still owing to B.C. Hydro as a result of his old buddy, the
former Governor Joseph Graham 'Gray' Davis, Jr. calling us up one day during his self-imposed electricity crisis of 2000 -> 2001 and tearfully asking for our help
to cover his butt and alleviate some of the brown-outs and blackouts they were having at the time. We sent them all the electricity we could, and in the process drew down the reservoirs at our biggest hydro-electric sites on the Peace and
Columbia Rivers, leaving ourselves vulnerable. 

The instant that crisis was manageable, Gray Davis began claiming that we had
been ripping him off all along, and refused to pay us a dime, the sniveling little wretch. And we haven't forgotten, in case anyone thinks we may have. We did our best to save his butt for him, and he turned right around and bit the hands that did it. Small wonder he ended up being only the second Governor in American history to be recalled, and is now a gold-plated nobody. It couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. And then along came Arnold 'I'll be back!' Schwarzenegger, and the rest is history....
