Davis is facing two issues. Sign the current rollback bill that is going through the legislature and upset the energy industry, or veto the bill and have many voters upset at him. Governor Davis is aware of the upcoming elections for members in his party, as well as the 2002 governor election and knows that his decision may cost himself and other members of his party election wins. Also, there is now talks that during August 21st PUC meeting the governor will suggest rate rollback for San Diego to July 1998 rates. This is a complete 180 degree turn from his August 3rd PUC meeting where he said he would steer clear of rate rollbacks or freezes and push for only a rebate. Attached is a personal interest type story providing the general publics view of the whole California power situation.
