I think that the key that it isn't what it purports to be is the view out the window. There's an ivy-covered wall few feet past the window, and a small tree in front of it and more trees beyond. It's clearly a first floor office with a tight yard/garden. Now look at some pics of the California State Capitol building. There's nothing that looks like it could match, and it's unlikely that they'd put the Lt.Gov's office on the bottom floor. Also, given the shots of interiors of the building available, the ceiling seems way too low. I don't know where it was taken, but it wasn't taken at the State Capitol Building.

Deborah Pacyna press secretary for Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante, holds up a copy of a Jan. 31, 1998 photo allegedly showing then Lt. Gov. Gray Davis (news - web sites) accepting a campaign donation in his Capitol office. Pacyna showed the media around the lieutenant governor's office in Sacramento, Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2002, to let them compare the layout of the office to the one in the photo. The California Organization of Police and Sheriffs, a law enforcement group allied with Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon, Gov. Davis' opponent in his bid for re-election, released the photo Tuesday showing Al Angele, right, then executive director of COPS, allegedly handing Davis a $10,000 campaign donation.(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)

Rats!

Who is up there? ,-- farmfriend -- do you know where Davis had his office as Lt Governor?

The Lt. Gov's office IS on the first floor of the Capitol, and there is about 40 feet of foliage outside of the Lt. Gov.'s windows. Remember, this was nearly 5 years ago, the grounds are constantly changing, but if you are heading west in Capitol Park (towards the State Capitol), the LG's office is on the RIGHT (north side) and the Gov's office is on the LEFT (south side).

I'll try and remember to bring my camera to work together and capture a picture of the LG's corner.
