Committee members also voted to ask the full Senate to find Enron in contempt of two legislative subpoenas -- one issued in June seeking documents related to California's energy market and the other for testimony about destruction of documents.

If I remember correctly, didn't Davis refuse to provide Legislative committees with information on power contracts that he authorized DWR to sign, until some newspapers and politicians filed complaints in state court? Oh, but I know that is different, what Davis does is not "contemptable," but what Enron does is contemptable. Sorry. (/sarcasm)
