Letters: A ‘cranky’ Gov. Brown

Re “Gov. Brown as Robin Hood,” Column, April 29

In his column casting doubt on Gov. Jerry Brown’s demand that money be shifted from better-off school districts to ones that have a higher share of disadvantaged students and English learners, George Skelton’s poison pen writes — with no attribution other than “some” in Sacramento — that Brown was “cranky” after returning from his trip to China because of jet lag. Skelton notes speculation that Brown may have been inspired by China’s leaders.

Huh? Our most successful governor in years is cranky and inspired by autocrats? That’s the wackiest thing I’ve ever read in The Times.
