Governor Jerry Brown delivered his State of the State address today. In a wide-ranging speech, Brown said California has “confounded our critics.” Brown quoted the bible, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Franklin Roosevelt, and laid out a blueprint for his next two years in office.

Raphe Sonenshein is executive director of the Pat Brown Institute at Cal State-Los Angeles, and he spoke with KCRW’s Warren Olney about the governor’s priorities.
