Willie Brown hasn't been in the Assembly for decades and the governor directly controls the CPUC.

My understanding is the governor has to follow laws that are written by the assembly. If one wanted to constrain or force his behavior that would be a perfect instrument to accomplish it. Have I misunderstood this? If not, then this would be the reason for my comment.

Or is your point that the total lack of checks and balances afforded by the Assembly presents us no additional problems over Willie Brown's current employment?
