“I thank all of my colleagues that have fought so hard and so courageously for 4 years. This is an issue about greed, greed gone absolutely wild; and the victims of the greed, this insatiable greed for money, money, money, money, money, are the people of my State of California, the people of the State of Washington, the people of the State of Oregon, the people of the State of Nevada. Not one hearing was even granted in the Committee on Energy and Commerce. We have presented solutions for restitution to our people, for refunds, and have been denied over and over and over again. So there has not only been an abuse of power by the power companies, but by the majority party in this House. Now we have come forward and requested last evening at the Committee on Rules that all points be waived in order to present an amendment for refunds. That was denied. Make no mistake, not one Republican from the State of California supported in 4 years a refund to our people.”
