A recount of last month's primary election results for state controller begins Monday. Former Assembly Speaker John Perez, who placed third, asked for the recount on Sunday, and said he'd pay for it himself. Perez trails fellow Democrat Betty Yee by 481 votes. Perez argued to the secretary of state that "never in California history has the vote between two candidates for statewide office been so narrow."
