Did he ever drive a Dodge Dart while serving as Governor those first two terms

Yes, it was a poorly written piece. Mike Royko publicized the “Moonbeam” moniker, something he later regretted and said Brown was capable as any other politician. Anyone outside of California only has to drive the state to see the lack of transportation alternatives over the last 30 years, other that “build more roads”. At least Jerry was true to his ideals even if it meant driving a plain blue wrapper around and living in an apt.

Kathy Grimes, the writer of this article, bills herself as a news reporter. That’s a stretch as she only “reports” from one political point of view.
Our schools were decimated by Prop 13. Using as an excuse the seniors were losing their homes when, in reality, Prop 13 was a tool for uber wealthy land barons to avoid paying their share of taxes.

If you ever wonder why California drivers are so bad, Jerry Brown stopped funding Driver’s Education behind the wheel training starting in 1981. Jerry has a way of screwing the public while committing his dirty deeds in the closet.

Back in the good old days, when you could disagree politically without having your head put on a stick, when Democrats and Republicans actually worked together to do constructive things, when California was known for its outstanding public education and public services.

That was pre-Prop. 13, before the rise of the no taxes, I-hate-government crowd and the Rabid Right, before being moderate was a treasonable offense. Is that just a coincidence? I don’t think so.
