-- On pressure to approve the deal: "I really had not seen a contract that had so many people pushing at a higher level of government."

This one is pretty devastating and definitely not authored by Davis' PR dept.

This whole California State Oracle thing and the energy thing before it show that the states at least still have a politically genereated responsiveness to some level of self-dealing, bribery and fraud that the Federal government lacks almost at all.

Already, Keene and Baheti have resigned, and Cortez has been suspended with pay, which is $123,000 a year. Oracle and its financing partner, Logicon, now are working with the Davis administration to cancel the contract. If the contract is cancelled, I guess Oracle will expect Davis to refund the $25,000 payoff.

I listened to a little of this and find, shockingly, that the SF Chronicle's report was so thorough and balanced. I do hope there is more to follow...

What a nightmare for Ms Curry!
It is obvious that the fix for the scam was in/rigged. Her concerns were blown away by the great wine drinker Keene and others in the take. She was ignored by others paid to protect us!

Few in Sacramento like working for Davis. They may like their incomes and positions, but most can't stand the man. If the permanent staff can find a way to sink him, I think that they'll help us elect Simon.

There was a story in yesterday's Sacramento Bee that said Logicon's parent company, Northrop-Grumman, gave almost $56,000 to Davis's campaign fund. This is in addition to the $25,000 from Oracle. I can't see how this whole deal can pass the smell test.
