Media honeymoon over for Brown

Governor-elect Jerry Brown committed his first flip-flop in this morning's news conference, the Sacramento Bee reports somewhat tongue-in-cheek (I hope.)

"I will live in Oakland, but given the fact I said I'm going to be working virtually nonstop on the budget, I'm going to have to find some place to sleep in Sacramento," Brown said. "I'll find a place."

He also said he wouldn't sell his five-level, $1.8 million Oakland home "until it attains its original value. And that's going to take a lot of work on my part."

Brown the candidate, however, had told The Bee's editorial board in September that he would move to the capital.

"I'm keeping my house there (in Oakland), but I will have a house here, " Brown said then. "I will move in here. There's plenty of nice places downtown."
