Califoria mansion fund drive faces partisan hurdles
A private drive to build a new governor’s mansion in California has become a partisan issue, delaying a needed project. About $200,000 has been raised toward a $550,000 goal while critics question legality of private donations for a state building. Assemblyman Lon Mulford proposes a bill to allow locating the mansion near the Capitol and accepting private donations if standards are met, arguing a new, safer residence is necessary but funding must be realistic.
