The California Public School System is now ranked as one of the worst in the nation. A sad, sad thing considering it was one of the best just 30 years ago. Yet Gov. Brown continues gutting the funding for education (and Social Services). He said it was the only way to get the state out of debt. I might have more confidence in Mr. Brown if he (and the Legislature) actually knew what the debt was. They don't. The number changes every time the subject is raised. And, the figures given are only estimates. As a graduate of Berkeley and Yale, I would hope Mr. Brown understands the value of education - I would hope. As a recent California Graduate told me just today, "I'm no Economist, but I can count to potato". Huh?   Oh the future looks bleak.
