Arnold met Ken Lay re: Energy deregulation crisis....

[cap]

"In May of 2001, Lay convened a private meeting with junk bond king Michael Milken, Los Angeles' then-Mayor Richard Riordan and Arnold Schwarzenegger, at which Lay reportedly presented his vision of solving the state's energy deregulation crisis by, absurd as it sounds, expanding deregulation. The meeting, about which the public still knows very little, may become a major issue now that Schwarzenegger is no longer just a Republican movie star"

What does Arnold know about this "National Energy Plan" that the rest of us are barred from hearing about?

Why were people discussing energy with an actor????

1. Ken Lay wanted to recruit McBain, I mean Arny...

...to do a series of ads...

"Put Enron in charge of your energy meter, it'll PUMP you up!"

Of course, he was referring to the cost per BTU being pumped up, but what the hell. A good marketing team and well-placed advertising can sell shit as a valued commodity for many benjamins.
