PhotoAfter more than 45 years, Mr. Brown, 79, is entering what he says are his final months in public life. He has been governor (twice), attorney general, mayor of Oakland, secretary of state, state Democratic Party chairman, and a candidate for president (three times).

Mr. Brown predicted his successor would face demands for “virtually limitless spending” from lawmakers that would be almost impossible to meet.
