By Warren Olney • • 51m ListenAttorney General Jerry Brown has not yet said he’ll run for the Democratic nomination for Governor. But Republican candidates have already found an issue. Brown’s press secretary might have broken state law by taping a telephone conversation without asking permission from the other party.
