He insisted that Davis did not seek the resignation.
"I didn't want it to affect the governor's campaign, so I took a little early vacation," he said.
But Davis told The Bee, "He resigned today at my direction. It is an example of someone who made a mistake, and we acted quickly to correct it."
That's a good one , Guv!

I'm not a fan of Cal Pine, however, these Fascist Rats working for Davis are criminals. Just read this part of this article:
The other two bidders were Calpine Corp. and a Florida utility. Calpine eventually was awarded the contract.
Dave Crespo, a Calpine consultant, told FBI agents that he met with San Joaquin County Supervisor Lynn Bedford and McFall at Bedford's home on May 15, 2001.
"McFall was introduced as Bedford's political mentor and close personal friend," and he was described as politically influential, the affidavit says.
McFall urged that Calpine get out of the bidding or he would generate public debate about the company's use of ammonia at its plant in neighboring Alameda County, the affidavit says.
Calpine Senior Vice President John King told the FBI that he confirmed the threat in a telephone call to McFall. The San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors subsequently passed a resolution condemning the Alameda County project, and King blames his refusal to withdraw from the port project, the affidavit says.
Bedford presented the resolution to the board, and it was adopted on June 26, 2001. Dunn spoke out at the meeting against the Alameda County project, saying he would be unable to evacuate San Joaquin County residents if there was an ammonia leak at the Calpine plant.

This is incredible.
Of course we find out about it on the Saturday before the election next Tuesday.
Please alert your fellow freepers, and we need to get this article out to our fellow California Voters.
