California gubernatorial alumni Brown promises the Dream Act
Let’s face it California isn’t just broke, it’s bankrupt. California’s largest budgetary item remains education and trying to hoodwink the Golden State’s residents into adding more money to the state’s failing schools will be especially tough.
