Could uptick in California crime make it a political issue again?
In the main, issues that dominate any session of the California Legislature reflect what the public and news media consider at the time to be the most burning. That's why, for instance, the state's acute housing shortage will receive much attention during the final month of this year's session. During Jerry Brown's first governorship four decades ago, the most burning issue was the state's sharply rising crime rate. It decided many contests for statewide, legislative and local offices and worked particularly well for Republicans.
