Things have gone a little nuts here, as I am sure they have in Houston. My basic question about whether I am the right guy for you is: Do you really want to sue this firm if things turn bad? Wouldn't you rather turn on a firm which doesn't have an ongoing relationship with Enron? In other words, what good is an outside opinion to you really if its contradicts the in-house opinion your receive. What good is it if it just confirms the in-house opinion but is wrong. My suggestion would be to seek an opinion from Glendale's outside financing counsel. That should give you a clear signal whether outside counsel with independent skin in the game is willing to back the City's opinion. Sorry I am not being more help on this. Let me know if there is more to talk about. -----Original Message----- From: Shackleton, Sara [mailto:Sara.Shackleton@ENRON.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 4:31 PM To: Boylston, Pat Subject: FW: California counsel Pat: I never received a response from you.
