Oh, what a beautiful morning!
Californians were undaunted by the Republicans spending tons of money to buy the Governor's and the Senate seats. I am disappointed that the corporate money with thanks to inept Supreme Court decison on campaign financing law the House has ben bought by the Republicans.

Jerry Brown won with the backing of big $$ & support of those 'status quo' power brokers who will keep Calif in debt. That's his experience.
