Governor Joseph

Joseph interprets Pharoah's dream
Our forum on the Future of UC Funding yesterday (see the previous two blog postings) took note of the fact that the Democrats seem to have gained a two-thirds majority in both houses of the legislature and in theory could pass additional taxes.  You might think that would mean lots of new funding for UC.  Think again; Gov. Brown says he does not want to go that route.  From the Capitol Alert blog of the Sacramento Bee:

Gov. Jerry Brown said today that he will not use an expected Democratic supermajority in the California Legislature to raise taxes further than were raised by passage of his ballot initiative Tuesday, urging "the prudence of Joseph" on spending in the next few years.  …Brown said he will be guided by a biblical reference to seven years of plenty being followed by seven years of famine, and to the need in better times to save crops for less abundant years.  "We need the prudence of Joseph going forward over the next seven years, and I intend to make sure that that's the story that we look to for our guidance," Brown said…

Brown said he would not rely on a two-thirds majority in the Legislature to raise taxes, saying "the only way to raise a tax is to ask the people."…


If you’re not up on your Bible studies, here is a clue about Brown’s reference:
