| Description | Is ex-Gov. Moonbeam squaring off with ex-Gov. Moose-inator?
Jerry Brown, currently California's attorney general, announced last night that he has launched a "broad investigation" to find out how much a California State University foundation intends to pay Sarah Palin when the ex-Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate speaks at a campus benefit in June.
Brown, a Democrat, got the "Moonbeam" nickname when he served as the Golden State's governor in the 1970s. As Susan Page told USA TODAY readers in a story last week, he's trying to get his old job back in November's elections
In a statement issued by his office, Brown insisted his investigation has nothing to do with politics. "This is not about Sarah Palin," he said. Rather, he said, he's concerned about maintaining "prudent fiscal management" of the state university foundation's funds. "We are taking this action to make sure that the money raised goes toward the intended educational purposes," Brown said. |
