Brown would cede commute powers to pass life-term bill
Sacramento AP Brown said Wednesday he would consider giving up his power to commute life sentences imposed without the possibility of parole if it would help pass the bill. He warned death-penalty supporters they would not get a strong measure without life without parole. Brown also noted society must rebuild its social glue through communities and local groups rather than government alone. He tied rising impersonality and mobility to broader social issues.
