California PUC finds no criminal activity 06/12/2001

Dow Jones Newswires

An investigation by California officials into the possibility of illegal behavior by electricity generators has failed to turn up evidence of criminal activity, people familiar with the probe said Monday.

The sources said generators aren't likely to be prosecuted, even though it appears they did withhold supply, and that the state may pursue civil remedies as an alternative.

"We have come to the conclusion that this type of behavior is not illegal," a public utility commissioner said.

Not surprised and bet they're right. The PUC pukes are especially good at covering their asses on both sides. A year ago when Edison & PG&E were screaming about their financial drain and bleak future the PUC ignored them and played to the ratepayers. The last place they'll look for guilt is among themselves.

Yep, just so much propaganda "leaked" about everything conveniently...unnamed sources, leaks from this or that. When the straight news comes out I might believe it, but there has been so much manipulation of the media and what has happened in the past year that I doubt anything like that I hear. It wasn't official, and even if they do find them guilty, this "source" will be believed and the truth kept off of the media. Cynical, yep these days, too much phoney shit going on.
