New CA Governor
Jerry Brown takes the oath of office Monday for his third term as California governor…
The first 100 days for a governor — often described as the honeymoon period — can set the tone for his entire tenure. ...There may not be another time in Brown’s governorship when he has this much public goodwill.
...Brown has promised a lean operation to meet the financial times. ...In the afternoon, he is scheduled to appear at a gathering outside the Capitol where free hot dogs will be served…
Brown is promising deep spending cuts, including some in his own office. He has already announced the elimination of the state’s inspector general — an office created by Schwarzenegger — and said he would cut his staff by as much as 25% from their current levels.
O’course that’s not much of a “cut” since Schwarzenegger increased the office of Gubbernator by 500% employing 10+ “experts” [like Czars, only less uessful] at a neat $110,000/year each. Plus staffs. So Jerry’s gonna cut 2.5 of them? WhooPee.
He’s also proposing deeper tax hikes, so we got that going for us.
