Davis announces four new energy advisors

Updated: May 18, 2001 - 2:54 p.m.
Gov. Gray Davis has added four new advisers to his energy staff, including
members of former Vice President Al Gore's staff and campaign team.

Chris Lehane, former Gore press secretary, and Mark Fabiani, a deputy
campaign manager for the Gore-Lieberman presidential run, will coordinate the
governor's communications staff on energy issues and help recruit a new
director of communications.

Lehane and Fabiani's company will earn $30,000 per month for six months.

Nancy McFadden, former deputy chief of staff to Gore, will earn $118,000 a
year as a senior adviser to the governor, said Steve Maviglio, Davis'
spokesman. McFadden will concentrate on the governor's relations with federal
regulators and with generators.

Davis also has recruited Kellan Fluckiger, chief operations officer for the
Independent System Operator, keeper of the state's power grid.

Fluckiger is "on loan" from the ISO, and will work with energy suppliers,
Maviglio said.
