Wade, favors abstinence-only sex ed, and doesn't want insurers to pay for contraception. More »

      Jet-Setting Governor Irks Californians

      (Newser) - Californians are complaining about a governor who rarely spends a night in the state capital and dirties the air with almost daily commuter flights on a private jet, reports the Los Angeles Times .
