Governor Jerry Brown’s last Sign/Veto Deadline was this past Sunday at Midnight. In his final Legislative year, the Legislature put 1,217 bills on his desk. He signed 1,016 of them. He vetoed 16.5% or 201 bills.
We don’t want to get sentimental, but working with Governor Brown is, was, and always will be an honor. A few years ago, he was described as “the adult in the room,” when it came to legislative negotiations, and we think that is still an apt description. We like a lot of things he has done, and we have disagreed on some. But he is a true Californian.
