Brown makes pitch for tax proposal

| | Comments (0) |

After delivering his annual State of the State address in Sacramento Wednesday morning, Gov. Jerry Brown took his show on the road, flying to Los Angeles to make his pitch for new taxes and sharp budget cuts to local politicians and teachers.

Brown delivered a version of his speech at Los Angeles City Hall and then headed to Burbank to meet privately with teachers and administrators.

While most local leaders are wary of Brown's plan for severe spending reductions and elimination of community redevelopment agencies, some offered support for other proposals, like a $100 billion high-speed rail line from Sacramento to San Diego.
