Spokesman Scott Gerber said Brown sent a letter to Schwarzenegger last week agreeing to look into whether the group's employees did anything illegal. Brown said he would also investigate whether the surreptitious recording of the meetings in ACORN's San Diego and San Bernardino offices violated California privacy laws, a subject the governor did not raise.

Important, on several fronts.

This is a very liberal California paper.

Jerry Brown (also former CA governor) isn't exactly known as a conservative.

Watch California; it's a trend-setter in so many ways.

The Comical is a Marxist rag.

Marxist Moonbeam will whitewash Acorn and attempt to impoverish the kids with no hope of conviction with a malicious prosecution.

"ACORN under investigation in California"

Sort of like saying "There's an investigation into political corruption going on in Chicago."

Both statements are BS nonsense....

Jerry Brown is planning a run for governor. His opposition is Democrat Gavin Newson, that idiot mayor of San Francisco.

Brown may be posturing for more political attention in getting ready for his run for governor.

The REAL investigation.

You're right. I heard Governor Moonbeam on the radio last week with Doug McIntrye saying they'll "also" look at possibility of illegally-recorded tapes.

Whitewash in the making here.
