The union representing the state's prison guards rolled out today its endorsement of Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown. . . .

"Simply building more prisons is not the solution," he said in a statement. "We need a governor that understands the nuances and is willing to bring all of the stakeholders to the table in a concerted effort to collectively resolve this ongoing problem."

"Simply building more prisons is not the solution," Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown followed that comment with, "We need higher pay for state employees, with real sustainable retirement pension increases along with state employee benefit increases."

Brown stated is has been 28 weeks since state employees had any type of pay or benefit increases.

Job security-—crime rates soar and the prisons are always full where Democrats reign.

Brown can protect the generous contract the guard’s union
has with the State of California.
