Connell also denied Gov. Gray Davis' request to transfer an additional $5.6 billion from the general fund to the Special Fund for Economic Uncertainties, the release said. Connell noted that, given the rapid depletion of the general fund on power purchases, the state would need to borrow $2.4 billion in order to tranfer the $5.6 billion from the general fund to the special fund. "We started this year with a generous budget surplus. The energy crisis has taken much of that away, and this transfer on top of the electricity purchases would put the fund at risk," Connell said. Connell called on Davis to ensure that the CDWR completes by the end of May 2001 the revenue bond sales that will be used to buy power and repay the general fund. She also asked that the CDWR notify her of all power purchases made and contracts negotiated thus far and requested that she be told within 7 days of any purchases and contracts negotiated in the future. Connell also said she wanted to be told within 24 hours of any power buys that exceed $55 million and asked that the Department of Finance be directed to prepare new general fund cash flow estimates for the next 30 and 60 days, and for the end of the fiscal year. The state's Department of Water Resources has been buying power since January in lieu of Edison International (EIX) utility Southern California Edison and PG&E Corp (PCG) utility Pacific Gas and Electric Co, because suppliers refused to sell to the nearly-bankrupt utilities. -By Jessica Berthold; Dow Jones Newswires; 323-658-3872; jessicaberthold@dowjones.com Gov. Davis' office said, in response to Connell's comments, that the state budget was solid and the economy remained strong. "We will be getting the money back we've paid for energy and it should have no significant effect on the state's finances from the Wall Street perspective," said Davis press secretary Steve Maviglio. -By Jessica Berthold; Dow Jones Newswires; 323-658-3872; jessicaberthold@dowjones.com 2001 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
