TENURE: Jerry Brown is already the longest-serving Governor in State history (his tenure surpassed Earl Warren’s in October 2013). With all other living former Governors term limited to eight years (except George Deukmejian, who also left office before term limits), it’s unlikely that we will see a longer-serving Governor anytime in the near future.
16 Things to Watch on Election Night
State Debt Clock
I thought you might find this interesting.
The people from usdebtclock.org have created a page that shows the current size of the various state debts, including California.
As of this evening, they’re putting the debt for California’s state and local governments at $427,746,000,000. Not sure if that includes unfunded pensions, but it doesn’t sound that far off.
Correction: John Campbell resignation date
When State Senator John Campbell resigned in order to be sworn in as a Member of Congress, he wrote and signed his letter on December 7, 2005.
The letter wasn’t printed in the Senate Journal until January 4, 2006. This has led some sources, including us until this evening, to record the date of his resignation as having occurred in January.
However, because Governor Schwarzenegger had called the Special Election back on December 15th, it’s clear that it was vacant prior to January.
