Perennial California politico Jerry Brown is a self-styled environmentalist who likes to think of himself as a progressive Everyman, but as Laer Pearce shows with an assist from Sacramento columnist Dan Walters, Brown has more oil money than Jed Clampett ever did -- and it's from holdings in Indonesia that date back to the time of that country's military dictatorship, reinforced by personal and decisive influence over the decisions made by California's Air Resources Board.
I used to work close to the refinery in El Segundo, and bop around Playa del Rey, but it was only after reading Laer's essay at the link that I realized what kind of hardball politics has shaped that landscape. No wonder Laer calls it "Crazifornia."
