There was a bill to change the election process. They would use an electoral college of sorts. This way, SF and LA wouldn't elect everyone on their own.

I don't know when they will be back.

You might try BPA as a search argument with the FR search engine.

I came across a post from 98 rather easily on another search.

Found this using Bonneville:

BPA Rate Increase May Fall Below Triple Digits In Oct (Bonneville Power Authority - Pac Northwest

BPA didn't get anything!

As far as the spill for the fish is concerned, that was always a bogus measure anyway.

Yes, I agree with you the whole fish flush thing is just so much enviro-babble. It is hard to listen to the fish-environmentalists talk about the importance of the fish flush and then say that the Corps barging is inferior. I think the fish flush thing is tied to dam removal to get the flows back to "natural." Having said that the fish flush is a religious foundation of NW fisheries interests.

Because of the power crisis, BPA had to raise its rates significantly to all of its PNW customers. If BPA gouged on the price of power, they sure didn't take any money to the bank as they ended up a net looser. Actually BPA's customers were the financial loosers.

I sure wish I could GoogleSearch the FR archives for those posts.
