Changes Will Be Coming January 1 with the New Occupant

After the first of the year, the governor’s office will look different.

Gone will be the fake gold letters spelling Arnold Schwarzenegger glued above the word “Governor” carved into the marble lintel.

Gone too will be the stnchion with the sign saying “Governor Arnold Schwarzengger” to the right of the California flag.

The 800-pound bronze grizzly bear the GOP governor placed in front fo the door might remain. No word on whether Brown’s cost-cutting moves will eliminate the California Highway Patrol officer stationed there.

Not shown: The late, great smoking tent erected on the patio of the governor’s office allowing Schwarzenegger, his staff and guests to routinely violate state law by smoking within the Capitol’s confines.
