Does Jerry Brown Have Any Answers?

Twenty-eight years after his first two terms as Governor, Jerry Brown ran again, promising that experience and the wisdom that comes with age would allow him to solve California's perpetual funding crisis.

Twenty-eight years after his first two terms as Governor, Jerry Brown ran again, promising that experience and the wisdom that comes with age would allow him to solve California's perpetual funding crisis. A year and a half later, "Uncle Jerry's got the kids in the car and he's not bringing them back without ransom." That's according to Joe Mathews with the New America Foundation writing in The Daily Beast. We hear from him and from Marc Cooper, who scored a rare lengthy interview with the Governor.
