Gov. Jerry Brown is hanging up his state-issued cell phone, and he's ordered half the state bureaucrats who have government-paid cell phones to do the same. AP in the Daily News,

"It is difficult for me to believe that 40 percent of all state employees must be equipped with taxpayer-funded cell phones," the new governor said Tuesday. "The current number of phones out there is astounding."

Brown used his first executive order since taking office a week ago to instruct department heads to cut off 48,000 state employee cell phones by June.
