	Official Questions the Math Behind California's Energy Bond Issue
		To hear California's state controller tell it, the problem with the state's plans for a $13.4 billion bond sale, the largest in history, is that the math does not add up.
		By September, Controller Kathleen Connell calculates, even before the bonds are sold, the state's general fund will have spent $8 billion buying electricity on behalf of utilities so short of cash that power producers refuse to do business with them.
		California's energy crisis may be easing — electricity prices have come down; conservation has helped stave off a predicted wave of flouts; the first big power plant built in the state since 1988 has just been switched on — but Wall Street remains focused on the negatives.

	[CALIFORNIA] STATE CONTROLLER KATHLEEN CONNELL SELLS LARGEST ISSUE OF REVENUE ANTICIPATION WARRANTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Leaders of the state's tech economy told the New York Times in a story last week that they don't expect their sector, increasingly important to California, to recover until perhaps the end of 2003.
		However, both the new and existing ratings were given a negative outlook based on the state's economy, which appears to be lagging behind the national economy to a greater extent that was thought earlier in the year.
		The state's rating was originally placed on CreditWatch on March 19 because of the budget deficit, caused by lowered revenues due to the national and state economic slowdown.

	Junk Bond State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		With the state of the economy, announcements of mass layoffs at some big California companies, and huge state budget crisis, it's no wonder a lot of people are nervous about their jobs.
		It is time for taxpayers, as shareholders in the state of California, to demand the fiduciary responsibility that is required of any corporate director.
		If the state misses this opportunity to ask the right questions of its leaders and candidates and allows a continuation of the same pattern of deferral and denial, the problem will worsen and next year's budget crisis will make this one look like a picnic.

		The senator opened her speech with examples of how California has taken the lead on a number of important issues and continued by outlining a number of premises she felt were indicative of successful policy.
		For example, a bill she introduced to create an organ donor registry in California was successful because Speier brought forward stories of people who had lost loved ones or received organ donations.

		On April 14, 2003, the California Field Poll reported that Davis had a record-low job approval rating of just 24%, the lowest ever recorded in the 55 years of the poll.

	California's financial troubles won't wait for recall (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The much delayed, nearly $100 billion state budget passed by the Legislature and recently signed by Gov. Gray Davis still leaves California with an $8 billion deficit that must be addressed in the next fiscal year – and that deficit could grow to over $10 billion.
		California can no longer postpone addressing this fiscal emergency – and should not wait until the final ballots are tallied in the recall election to stop the bleeding.
		State leaders can show they are serious about curing our budget problems by establishing a commission to focus on these issues – even as the recall unfolds.

		SAN FRANCISCO – Democratic state Controller Steve Westly has some deep pockets – and he's apparently not afraid to dig into them for a chance to unseat Arnold Schwarzenegger.
		Shortly after Schwarzenegger was swept into office in the 2003 recall election, he enlisted Westly as a key Democratic ally in his effort to pass Proposition 57, a $15 billion bond measure aimed at trimming the state's deficit.
		State Treasurer Phil Angelides, the only Democrat to formally declare his candidacy, frequently reminds voters that he has been a Schwarzenegger antagonist since the actor took office after the 2003 recall.
