6:32 am
before. two inaugurations back in 1975 and 1979. jerry brown served as california's governor 28 years ago. things have changed since he left that office in 1983. california's population has grown. has highway to deal with political terms. he is low key which that is one thing people says has not changed. low key and low budget will be the order of the day this day. as we said everything is within walking distance. the food of chase will be hot dogs and chips. those are state owned billings so they don't need to be rented out. all this in line to what jerry brown has done. >> i think his symbolism is pretty clear. california is in a difficult situation and you elected me to fix this problem and i'm not up here to have a big party. there is no time for that and there is no money for that.
