Is it 2014 already. Just over 30 days past the 2010 California elections, our politicians are already planting their flags on Constitutional offices for 2014.
"Other high-profile politicos with an eye toward the future include State Treasurer Bill Lockyer, who, as the Sacramento Bee noted, has his eye on the state controller's office.
