of distrust between the two parties. union oppose pension reforms and ending seniority for teachers making the politics tough on brown. i don t think this is about power bases and money bases as much as it is just maybe his personal preferences. so governor brown campaigned on the idea that he could get this done. that he can work with republicans to solve the state s budget problem. he failed. so democratic lawmakers, you guys are considering raising taxes without the required 2/3 vote and brown is barn storming the state to put a five year tax hike to a public vote. back to you. but he is brain storming trying to figure trying to figure out how to solve the big problem. it s 4:26 in the morning. and william, great job. if he wants to get it done, go to governor cuomo or governor christie and governor mitch daniels. they re the ones who did it. i admit he has a bigger problem. thanks a lot, william. great job. 26 minutes after the hour.
