      One of the key rules for understanding government is “Never believe what’s happening until it’s officially denied”. Well here you go!

      Gov. Jerry Brown went to Concord on Thursday to promote a plan to fix the state’s roads and highways, acknowledging that the $52 billion plan may be a “heavy lift” for some motorists but promising he’s motivated only by a desire to improve transportation.

      “I don’t think I’m running for office,” he quipped during a news conference as he stood on an unused Concord road flanked by by a sea of orange-vest-clad construction workers and more formally dressed politicians, including state Senate President pro Tem Kevin de León, D-Los Angeles and Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, D-Paramount (Los Angeles County).

      “I only have lieutenant governor, treasurer and controller left,” Brown said.

      Someone in the crowed shouted out: “President.”

      “But I’d be 82 then,” he said, pausing. “Don’t rule it out.”

      He wants it. We all know that. But he also could live with being President of the Nation of California, I bet !
