Q: BUFFALO  N.Y. (AP) â A longtime local television news anchor in Buffalo  New York  known for his "rapid-fire delivery and famous alliteration" has died.  Irv Weinstein  was 87.

 He  moved to California after  his  retirement.

Q: California Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  delivers  his  final State of the State address in Sacramento on Jan. 25. Democrats who want to replace  him  are aiming even further left in a state already known for its liberal politics. (Pool/Reuters)
Here in the self-labeled âstate of resistance â the political debate is being pushed further left without any sign of a Republican renaissance to serve as a check on spending and social policy ambitions. Even some Republicans are concerned about the departure of Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  who proved to be fiscally cautious after inheriting a state seven years ago in deep recession.
âYou are going to be talking about Democrat-on-Democrat crime  for the most part â said Bill Whalen  a research fellow at Stanford Universityâs Hoover Institution. âWhat also is certain is that the next governor is going to be more progressive than Jerry Brown.â
In his final State of the State address on Jan. 25   Brown  said California is âprospering â a nod to a growing economy that is the sixth-largest in the world.
But in an interview after the speech   Brown  said that âdoes not mean all Californians are prospering â and  he  made a distinction between the coastal âconsulting classâ and rural laborers whose âculture of working with their handsâ is disappearing.
âThe state is more divided â  Brown  said. âAnd itâs divided this way right across the country.â
 Brown  said  he  is uncertain whether  he  will endorse in the race to succeed  him   even though Newsom also is a Bay Area Democrat who  on climate change in particular  supports the governorâs policies. Some of  Brown âs transportation initiatives  including a high-speed rail project from Los Angeles to San Francisco that is bursting its budget  remain in question.
âI donât think the people of Tulare County or Modoc County want to hear from  Jerry Brown  on who to vote for. Maybe the people in Oakland would  I donât know â  Brown  said. âIâll decide what to do based on 45 years of campaigning in this state.â
