Thanks, geefloyd446.

Governor Brown is doing a great job and now that the Democrats finally have a super-majority (for the first time in 130 years), we hope to soon have a balanced budget!

I love Governor Brown's use of this quote from William Butler Yates, the great Irish poet:

"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire."
