Or, the Utah Governor, frustrated by the 20th man caused wildfire in his state in a month: "Apparently, try as we might, we can't outlaw being STUPID"
Or the Chairman of a midwest state's Commerce Department, when asked what was the single most important reason for his state's rapid business recovery, quipped: "the California Legislature"
As to Governor Davis - No, he did not "Cause" the Enron debacle - Enron, with significant facilitation from the California Legislature, did that. But he did squander (by executive fiat) in just a four months, a $12 billion surplus left him by his predecessor - and several billions more - on just that, trying to prop up the power industry - making the California government one of its largest victims.
By the way - the state government has yet to recover. It ain't gonna! You may not be able to legislate against "STUPID" --- But you sure as hell could stop legislating it!
Thattain't gonna happen either!
