Governor Brown is spending more time at his Williams-area ranch, of which he owns 28%. The 2,500-acre property is home to cattle and honeybees:
The land was bought in 1877 by Brown’s great-grandfather Schuckman, a German immigrant who arrived in California during the Gold Rush and succeeded in “overcoming every obstacle,” as the governor put it in his 2011 inauguration speech. Schuckman’s ranch home also doubled as an inn, known to the family as the “Mountain House,” to capitalize on a stagecoach route bringing tourists to the region’s natural hot springs.
Wanna bet he takes full advantage of the Williams Act property tax break?
Williamson Act. Darned autocorrect.
Folks can use this to show the millennial’s the way a lot of southern California looked in the early seventies.
Now only the guys who had a big hand in making it not look like southern California in early seventies get to have a place where it looks like southern California in the early seventies.
Because that’s how we roll out here in New Brazil, son.
Why, I remembers the day there weren’t no river rafts doin’ trade down the ol’ Santa Ana after the rains, neither! That’s cuz there weren’t hardly no tents by the riverside! Ain’t nothin’ but open service road along ol’ mizz Santa Ana back then, I tell you what! Ain’t nobody could tell you what a co-operative tent collective was! We didn’t know nuthin’ nohow! Ain’t no reason to!
