	SignOnSanDiego.com > News > State/The West -- It's capital muscle vs. upstart in tussle for governor's home
		Locating a governor's mansion in West Sacramento, incorporated in 1987, would be a surprising conclusion to a partisan political battle that has left California without an official governor's residence for nearly four decades.
		California has been without an official governor's residence since 1967, when Ronald Reagan left a multistoried Victorian mansion, calling it a noisy "firetrap" located on a busy thoroughfare.
		The 19th century Stanford mansion, built before the Capitol, is deemed unsuitable for a governor's residence because of an adjacent high-rise building.

	National Governors Association
		In 1970, Brown was elected California's secretary of state, and held that position until his inauguration as governor in 1975.
		As governor, he had revolutionary ideas about state spending and refused to live in the huge new governor's mansion - renting a modest apartment instead, and nixing the governor's limousine in favor of a state-issued Plymouth.
		Governor Brown mounted several unsuccessful presidential campaigns and is now mayor of Oakland, California.

	Schwarzenegger Plans Sequel to Pete Wilson's Failed Energy Policies
		Deregulation critics are unnerved by Schwarzenegger's proposal, arguing it would expose California to major risks at a time the financially strapped state cannot afford to gamble.
		Schwarzenegger aides say his proposed reforms are mostly the work of three men: Sweeney, who wrote a book analyzing California's electricity crisis; Sean Randolph, president of the San Francisco-based Bay Area Economic Forum, a group that represents business and government interests; and Lawrence Makovich, a senior director for Cambridge Energy Research Associates, a Massachusetts firm.
		Still, California will probably need to adopt more reforms to lower the highest electricity prices in the continental United States and address an inadequate power supply, Borenstein said.

	Original Furniture Sought For Leland Stanford Mansion
		SACRAMENTO — The Leland Stanford Mansion Foundation and California State Parks are seeking the return of original pieces of furniture that once filled this 1857 mansion, a state historic park that next year will begin serving as a protocol center for California governors and other elected officials.
		When the rehabilitation of the mansion is completed sometime in late 2004, it will return to public service as the center for the state's highest level protocol meetings hosted by the Governor and Leadership of the Legislature, as well as a historic tour venue which in part recreates the 1860-1872 interpretive period.
		In 1861 Stanford added a separate governor's office, and in 1872 expanded the home to four stories and 19,000 square feet to better meet the needs of his expanded family and enhanced stature.

		To give you an idea of the relative ease with which the east and west coasts were accessible to each other because of the gold rush to California in 1849, we quote from Women in Waiting in the Westward Movement by Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith.
		For the next month the Governors' Mansion at the Museum will be decorated for mourning Margaret's death the same way mourning practices were done in Victorian times.

	The Daily Texan
		The California recall, initiated by Republicans, seeks to oust Democratic Gov. Gray Davis from the governors mansion.
		While the current redistricting battle serves as evidence for why drawing district lines should be left to bipartisan committees instead of politicians, Democrats are now getting abused by the same system they exploited for years while in the majority.
		Similar to the opposition offered for the results in the 2000 election and the California recall, hyperbole and exaggeration are too often a part of the Democratic resistance to redistricting.

	Sharlots Museum a job done so well nobody can ever spoil it"
		She managed the restoration of the Governor's Mansion, leading by example with the sweat of her own brow as she literally hauled dirt out by the wheelbarrow, "for no house was ever dirtier." She also designed the landscape for the museum, alternating elements of natural history and Victorian rose gardens.
		Sharlot's dear friend, Alice Hewins, wrote from California in January 1942, only one month after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, of her own plans to return to Arizona, due in large part to war conditions and the possibility of enemy raids.
		By 1931, when this photo was apparently taken, Sharlot M. Hall had created a museum in the old governors mansion to show the materials she had collected about Arizona History.
