Boy would I like to come to Houston. But looks like I'll be stuck here, at
least this week. Soon as I get to Houston, I'll look you up and we can
compare notes.
Best,
Jeff

That is always a good sign. Again, if you come to Houston I would love to
meet with you and discuss synergies of reporting on this issue. Are you guys
looking into the DWR's announcement that was postponed yesterday regarding
revenue rates/rate hikes?

Update 7/23/01



? When the Assembly reconvenes at 4:00 PDT it appears they will likely take
up the budget only; there is no word at this time that they will take up AB
82XX, and they do not appear to have the votes needed to pass it even if they
did take it up. The fact that Burton has come out against a conference
committee is an additional disincentive to work on 82XX. Therefore, at this
time it appears unlikely that 82XX will be passed before the recess.

? Instead, it appears likely that a working group will be established to work
on SB 78XX during the recess. This group will likely include members of
Keeley's, Hertzberg's and Burton's staffs. These staff members may be
allowed to go on vacation for a few weeks before returning to work on the MOU.

? The Assembly must pass the budget before they can recess. It is unclear at
this time if it will be possible to do so tonight or if it will take a few
days; the Senate, by leaving, has put the Assembly in a difficult position in
that they cannot amend anything. Also, the four Republicans who voted for
the budget last week are under significant pressure not to vote for the
trailer bills, meaning that Speaker Hertzberg has to find other Republicans
willing to cross party lines -- a difficult and very unpopular thing to do at
this point. This is likely why the Assembly is meeting so late in the day --
to allow Hertzberg time to work on the 8 or 9 Republicans on his list.
