Not that anyone expected him to, but Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom didn’t do anything funky as acting governor last week while Jerry Brown was vacationing out of state. That doesn’t mean there’s much fellowship between them, says the Sac Bee in a piece about their distant relationship. Here’s the lede:
Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is trying to make it through an interview without needling Gov. Jerry Brown.
It isn't easy.
Over and over, Newsom asserts a lack of leadership in Sacramento.
"Please," he says. "It's not me pointing fingers."
But in the same breath that Newsom calls the governors of Delaware, Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana "serious" about economic development, he says California is "not in the game."
