Our name is being tossed about, but in the context (apparently) of "some  parts of Enron's core/noncore proposal."
Hertzberg is slated to meet with his caucus this evening to discuss the plan.
Conversation with Governor's Financial Advisor Talked to Michael Hoffman today (one of Governor's financial advisors) They've run Hertzberg's version of the core/noncore model (i.e., noncore eats  IOU past due) using their MOU numbers.
They said that the model "can work" if noncore can contract for $80/MWH (this  is pretty consistent with our analysis).
Hoffman's guys are doing a final scrub on the numbers and Hoffman will fax me  the results tomorrow AM.
