Will the Real Pat Brown Please Stand Up?
It’s the master rebuilder vs. the progressive taxer in November
But as the senior Brown’s biographer, Ethan Rarick, makes clear in California Rising, his stellar account of Pat’s stellar governorship, the key to Brown’s success was his determination to pay for the state’s growth by raising the very same upper-bracket income and business taxes that Angelides wants to raise. In a sense, the battle for the governorship has become the battle for the mantle of Pat Brown. In this context, it’s Angelides who’s the real McBrown. But in a broader sense, this Brownian contest signals the end of the Howard Jarvis era in California politics, and the rebirth of commitment to Californians’ common destiny.
