Rare Praise for Jerry Brown

There isn't a lot to like but when there is give it a thumbs up.

SacBee:

California Gov. Jerry Brown released a revised, $180 billion budget proposal Thursday that closely mirrors his January plan, maintaining a cautious approach amid uncertainty about the direction of the economy and possible federal actions that could hurt the state’s bottom line.
Thursday’s revised plan follows disappointing revenue numbers for April, the state’s biggest tax filing month, but reflects a $2.5 billion uptick in estimated revenue through June 2018 compared to Brown’s January package. It puts $400 million into easing the burden on counties to pay for home-care services while pulling back on an earlier proposal to freeze child-care provider rates. It also links more money for the University of California to the system’s acting on recommendations in a scathing state audit.

 Brown is resisting the usual CA Democrat call to spend on a permanent basis twice as much as shows up as a temporary windfall.  He is also taking a small step towards adequately funding the university system.

And perhaps even more surprising I like his official state portrait.
