Since Cali politics is full of criminals they will be able to void any contract at any time if this theory holds.

That's exactly the point. This guy had no financial interest in any of these deals, and only an arguable one with Edison.

If a court would hold that California could get out of these contracts by its own "bad behavior" by a consultant, then the state will always have an incentive to be breaking the law in this manner.

It would be odd, indeed, if the only party who could void the deal is the one who did something wrong.

Which may be the reason why they can't/won't overturn the deal. It would create precedent to overturn a whole lot of political deals.

Well, even without a conviction, if the issue and others like it can be forced into that part of the media that the Democrats control against their will then it can have an impact on the fall election for Governor.

Just shows more evidence of the corruption surrounding Gray Davis which is beyond mere mismanagement and political manipulation that has finally appeared in the Media.

It was just a short time ago we had the bad contract with Oracle exposed!
Davis handled that by having Keene resign(I think).
I don't think he has that option here .
