by Brian Leubitz<\/p>\n
Well, we’ve completed a full legislative session with a Democratic governor, so folks had great hope that we could finally get some legislation that had gone to die on Governor Schwarzenegger’s desk might stand a chance with Governor Brown.<\/p>\n
But Jerry Brown, ever the mercurial sort, had some bad news for those legislators and groups with legislation landing on his desk: get ready to sing the “veto blues”:<\/p>\n
“I’m going to veto a lot of bills over the next 30 days,” Brown told reporters after an event to reward schools with high physical fitness achievements.<\/p>\n
“So I have to say to some, fasten your seat belt cause this is going to be a rough ride. They’ve given me 600 bills and there’s not 600 problems that we need those solutions for,” he said. …<\/p>\n
The governor declined to say whether he would sign or veto specific bills, but he added, “You’ll hear soon enough. I think they’ll be playing the veto blues before we’re finished.” (SF Gate<\/a>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
While he was coy about specific bills he did say that his response to the state aid for the “dreamers”, students who were brought to California by their parents without documents, but graduated from California high schools, was to consider the song “California Dreaming<\/a>” by the Mamas and Papas. <\/p>\n
