Five of the Governor's Energy Consultants Fired Over Conflicts of Interest
The Davis administration revealed last Friday that it has fired five of its energy consultants because of conflicts of interest involving their official duties and personal finances. These consultants were involved in purchasing electricity for the state from a generator in which they own stock. The law prohibits state officials from participating in decisions involving their personal financial interests. Guest host Terry Anzur speaks with Governor Gray Davis' Political Advisor Gary South and his Press Secretary Steve Maviglio.
