Pete Wilson (R) who was responsible for the utility deregulation
In fact, Democrat Steve Peace was the self-proclaimed "Father of Deregulation".
For 22 years now, every committee in both houses was chaired by a Democrat.
Deregulation passed both houses with veto-proof majorities. Wilson had zero say in the matter -- CA doesn't have a "pocket veto" mechanism.
- danans 7y agoIndeed, the establishment of the Democratic party was very in on the deregulation fever at the time, as were many rank and file voters. It was a trope of the time. This was a case of bipartisan unity on what was in retrospect terrible legislation.
