After that I went into business for myself. Turns out that business didn’t support Jerry so he decided to cut the State Contractors Board. Fired everyone but one guy. The backlog for a Contractors license was six months the next day. Two months later it was a year and a half. Here is how it worked. You paid a “flyer”(to physically go to Sacramento) $1400 to take your application and put it “on top” of the application file. This reduced the application from a year and a half to three months. I know because I paid and it worked.

After that fiasco I ended up doing some work for Jane Fonda and her husband Tom Hayden. Jerry had appointed him he head of alternative energy. This consisted of a twelve inch square solar panel for his electric gate intercom. Never worked so we always had to jump the gate and pull the pin on the bar to open it. In the meantime the only thing Tom was doing was trying to screw Santa Barbara by building a illegal political facility in the guise of a auditorium “for the children” Got caught and shut down which resulted in Tom Jane and Henry Fonda making commercials about how they were being persecuted.Jerry was the original Obama with surrounding himself with kooks.

I was one of the “three toed frogs” that was living at Point Conception when Jerry wrote the assembly bill 1082 that made it the only site possible. This was done to ram it in under the three year deadline. The Feds had approved a site in Oxnard but it was going to take to long.When they broke ground they found a fault and the Indians went on the warpath. A armed encampment followed at Cojo(the Western Gate where souls jump off the earth) which lasted for weeks but Jerry had them removed(from private property). All was going well for Jerry and Pat until the second to last hearing(no one allowed to speak). On the way out a guy yelled “I followed the money! You have the contract to import the LNG.” This pissed Pat off so much that he punched the guy in the mouth(on camera KEYT)”I have no intrest” Jerry lied.

The news of the Brown Family Oil Business was actually released in the mid-70′s by myself and Tim Brick when we were co-coordinators of CAUSE–the Campaign Against Utility Service Exploitation. We did a news conference in the Senator Hotel with graphs and arrows pointing to the cross-references which linked the Brown Family to Suharto and Pertamina and Perta, the major holding company. The then Sacramento Union was the only paper to print our expose. Walters worked for the Union at that time.

Who was the California Attorney General at the time. Was he asleep? It seems that two or more persons committing a lawful act in an illegal manner meets the criterion for a charge of conspiracy.

One has to remember that the bankers who put up the 15 or 16 billion dollars for the Indonisian oil deal had the resources,politically, to hire PR firms or law firms to influence any prosecution. I’d like to know if the AG, at the time, made any notes of who contacted him regarding the deal. In my humble opinion those types of contacts or conversations are secrets and no one ever knows about them, not even the press.

Good article! One of Jerry Brown’s first official actions as CA AG was to “lobby” for one of his friends in the oil/power biz… as soon as he became AG, he was asked by a “close family friend” at one of his dinner parties, to see what he could do to settle the lawsuit against this friend’s power company… From what I heard (inside the DOJ), it took one of his more seasoned Assistants to inform him that he could not do that — would not look good politically.
