Sell State-Owned Properties

SF Chronicle Editor: Governor Brown's revised budget proposes the sale of state-owned properties like the Los Angeles Coliseum and the Montclair Golf Course in Oakland. Many more properties should be sold to reduce the debt and protect vital services. California owns 22,272 facilities and structures; many are under-utilized or serve no state function. The Governor also should reconsider the sale and leaseback of state office buildings. The business of the state is to provide public safety, educational, health care and social services - not spend billions to manage and maintain properties. Mike DeNunzio
