Local News in Brief : Brown Institute to CSLA
Former Gov. Edmund G. (Pat) Brown, who formed a private, nonprofit government affairs institute eight years ago to study issues ranging from water resources to mass transportation in California, announced Monday that he is merging the organization with Cal State Los Angeles to ensure continued funding and operating resources.
As part of the agreement, Brown’s Institute of Government Affairs and the university’s Center for Public Resources are being dissolved to form the Edmund G. (Pat) Brown Institute of Public Affairs, university officials said.
At a news conference with Cal State Los Angeles President James M. Rosser, Brown said he hopes the institute will continue to focus on the issues of water resources, transportation, crime and mental illness as well as toxic waste management and state fiscal policies.
