Column: Brown Has Problems With Competing Tax Plans
Columnist Dan Walters writes that Gov. Jerry Brown (D) has "a big problem" as he seeks support for his tax hike proposal amid competition from two rival tax plans. Walters writes, "Brown is openly worried that if all three make the ballot, it would be, in the words of his top political adviser, Steve Glazer, a 'circular firing squad' that would confuse voters and imperil all three."
