California 'jobs' program fails as the state keeps chasing away job creators

California Governor Jerry Brown has been lauded by the left as one of the most successful and influential leaders in the country. Supported by a Democratic supermajority in both houses of the California Legislature, the governor can basically do as he pleases, but he can’t seem to bring back the jobs that he’s chased away.

Four years ago, Brown launched “California Competes,” his program to boost California jobs by awarding tax credits to job-creating businesses. Today, two-thirds of those credits have been left unclaimed.
