Jerry Brown plans to move into historic governor’s mansion

http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article39458778.html

Gov. Jerry Brown, who chose an apartment over mansion life when he was governor before, now plans to move into the historic Governor’s Mansion in downtown Sacramento, likely late this year or early next year.

His move will follow the completion of a months-long renovation of the residence, which is expected to be finished by the end of the year, Brown’s office said....

The mansion, purchased by the state in 1903 and now maintained as a state park and museum, has not housed a governor since Ronald Reagan in 1967.

When Brown signed a budget last year that included $2.5 million for renovations at the mansion, his office said he had “no immediate plans” to move in. That appeared to change this year, however, with an additional $1.6 million appropriated for the project and the renovation growing to include security improvements. The administration considered the building a possible home for Brown and future governors.
