Sacramento governor’s mansion nears completion amid cost debate
Foreman Charles Pinkerton stands in the backyard of a $1.3 million Spanish style Sacramento mansion set to be finished this month. Gov. Brown says he will not live there, saying the teak trimmed 12,000 sqaure foot home is for show. Taxpayers would spend about $105,000 yearly for guard and maintenance, roughly a quarter of costs if used as the governor’s residence. The living room opens to the backyard with glass walls and 16 foot laminated redwood doors. Brown, a bachelor Democrat, rejects the grand residence approach.

Otay Mesa site will not be considered. Miramar was the initial favorite, but the Navy won't share.
