CA POST EDITORIAL BOARD: Vote Hilton for California governor over establishment hack Becerra for real change

What happened: The California Post editorial board endorsed Republican Steve Hilton for California governor over Democrat Xavier Becerra, calling Becerra an empty suit with no real achievements. Why it matters: The editorial argues 16 years of Democratic one-party rule have left California leading the nation in poverty and homelessness, and says voters have a real choice this year. Key numbers: Hilton proposal: no taxes on income up to $150,000. 16 years of Democratic control cited. California described as the fourth biggest economy in the world.
