GOV. MOONBEAM SHRUGS: Jerry Brown Admits $15 Minimum Wage Does Not Make Economic Sense, Approves It Anyway.

And note this bit of incredible spin in the Sacramento Bee: “Brown, a fiscal moderate, had previously expressed reservations about a wage increase.”

I’m not sure which is worse; the Sacramento Bee calling a man who said in 1995, “The conventional viewpoint says we need a jobs program and we need to cut welfare. Just the opposite! We need more welfare and fewer jobs,” a “fiscal moderate,” or the fact that maybe, they could be right, insomuch as Brown just might qualify for the phrase in loony left Sacramento in 2016.

In any case, I’m glad to now be observing the formerly Golden State from the outside, rather than, as Obama ally Bernardine Dohrn would say, “living inside the belly of the beast.”
