"Mr. Brown is making the most of it. He is using his remaining days to offer warnings about the future of California and the planet and lessons learned from a half-century in public life, and to talk about a legacy of fiscal restraint — he arrived eight years ago to a $26 billion deficit, and is leaving a $14 billion surplus — and opposition to Mr. Trump. He also delivered some not-so-veiled admonitions for his successor about a recession that he suggested had already started, and a looming assertion of power by interest groups and newly liberated Democratic lawmakers enjoying near historic margins in the Legislature."

1. This Californian will miss Jerry Brown. He is one of a kind. He tells it like it is.

He stands up for us in CA and never kissed ass for his personal reasons. He has pissed me off in the past but I don’t remember the reason. I am a Linda Ronstadt fan.

2. I was just watching "The 60s" and "the 70s"

and when they showed Linda I thought of Brown. They were the cool couple for a while.

I will miss him too!!!!! I feel "safe" when he is "in charge", sort of like I did with Clinton and Obama.

3. I will miss him, too

He was even our mayor in Oakland for a while. I know we're still in good hands, but I feel so much more secure that all will be well in CA with Jerry Brown in charge.

7. He's not going to quietly ride into the sunset

He has said he will continue to be a voice of reason, and, well, microphones mysteriously appear when he's prepared to drop some pearls of wisdom; there's a lot of down time growing olives.

8. That's the role I'd love to see him play
