Morning Scoop: Governor relents, water deal progress, upwardly mobile tuitions
A gray good morning from the City Desk, where we're waiting for the first raindrops to fall. Some California stories from today's paper to get your work week started right:

What if money didn't matter? Sacramento columnist George Skelton takes a look at Tom Campbell, a GOP candidate for governor who has lots of experience but not the deep coffers of his rivals.
They'll make good money one day and their professors have big salaries. That's the argument behind a UC proposal to charge undergraduates in business and engineering more tuition than their classmates.

EDITOR'S PICKS:
This governor is mostly bluster and idle talk. He is about as smooth as a 60 grit sandpaper. His interests are in looking out for his buddies and his own business interests.
