"According to media reports, a Federal grand jury today indicted Ken Lay, former chairman and chief executive officer of Enron Corp. This marks another step forward in holding the leaders of Enron accountable for their many misdeeds, which included taking advantage of Californians by manipulating the energy market for financial gain.

When the details of this indictment become known, we will be able to learn more about Enron's actions so that we can fix the system and keep this kind of widespread abuse of from happening again."
