-UPDATE-

Bush to the rescue?

“Sutley served as energy advisor to Gov. Gray Davis, managing state and federal regulatory, legislative, financial and press matters. From 1999-2003, she was deputy secretary for policy and intergovernmental relations within the California Environmental Protection Agency, where she advised on water and air pollution policy, lobbied federal agencies and Congress, and established budget and legislative priorities.”
