Jerry Brown the miracle spender no more
The piece contests California Governor Jerry Brown's claim of lean and austere governance. Data from Legislative Analyst A Alan Post shows state spending rose 14 percent in Brown's first year and 14.9 percent in the second, similar to or higher than Reagan era growth. Officials say much spend is mandated by law, limiting dramatic cuts. The editorial argues Brown is not a miracle worker and cites highway projects cut or delayed, including Blood Alley on Highway 101 near San Jose, as examples of costly tradeoffs.
