Soros Spends $200 Million to Get Obama to Buy the Internet By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:09 pm Many of us thought the value of the Internet was in the trillions of dollars. In fact, all it took was $200 million spent on the3 right groups, paying for the meals of the media and putting staff in the white House. In the end, government will now set the broadband speeds, the costs, who […] Read More and Comment: Soros Spends $200 Million to Get Obama to Buy the Internet Mall Of America Invites Terrorism With Gun-Free Zone Signs By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:08 pm If I were a terrorist would I want to do damage to a Mall in Texas, where so many citizens carry guns—or go to the Mall of America—many government schools around the nation? Of course government schools in many places, along with the Mall of America have signs, “This is a No Gun Zone”. Great […] Read More and Comment: Mall Of America Invites Terrorism With Gun-Free Zone Signs Growing concern about water storage and supply in California By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:07 pm The California public understands the severity of the lack of water (the drought is natural, the lack of water is government policy). During the Schwarzenegger years we voted for water bonds, to help build new water storage facilities—none have been built, but the money is being spent. Thanks to lawsuits, courts have used environmental laws […] Read More and Comment: Growing concern about water storage and supply in California Privately Funded HyperLoop Gets Started—Government Owned High Speed Rail has NO Money By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:06 pm While the High Speed Rail Authority bullies it way to steal private property, going to court when owners refuse to be bullied, a private firm has created a deal, to build a “hyperloop” pod system that is really high speed when fully built—at NO cost to the taxpayer. Construction is to start in 2016, way […] Read More and Comment: Privately Funded HyperLoop Gets Started—Government Owned High Speed Rail has NO Money Stockton Officially Exits Bankruptcy–Sets Stage for NEXT Bankruptcy By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:04 pm Good news? Not really. Stockton is now out from under the bankruptcy, caused by mismanagement of the city and massive payments to CalPERS. No one knows if the city will become fiscally responsible, but we have an idea that it REUSES to do so. Instead of accepting the court’s ruling that they can reform the […] Read More and Comment: Stockton Officially Exits Bankruptcy–Sets Stage for NEXT Bankruptcy Assembly Democrats ACTING Like Democrats: Want Real Estate Fees, Tax Credits for Affordable Housing By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:04 pm In the Senate the Democrats are promoting SB 8 by Hertzberg, a $10 billion a year tax on services—attorneys, CPA’s, dance classes, yoga, plumbers and more.

Yet, the same politicians will not tell you about the deals made for their donations—like funds “donated” to charities, which then promote the politician that used their office to raise the […] Read More and Comment: California Bill Aims To Increase Transparency of Rx Drug Costs–More Government Control Bill to Prevent Double Charges for California’s New Licensed Professionals Introduced By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:02 pm While Democrats have SB 8, a $10 billion tax increase, planned, they never forget that small change adds up to big money. Even little bureaucratic efforts can be brought to the bottom line so government has more money to spend. Assemblyman Jim Patterson has a bill, common sense, to save professionals money from being doubled […] Read More and Comment: Bill to Prevent Double Charges for California’s New Licensed Professionals Introduced Did El Cerrito officials deceptively use public funds for tax-hike campaign? By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:01 pm Does anybody believe that the City of El Cerrito did NOT illegally use tax dollars to promote a ballot measure to get more tax dollars? What is surprising is that they got caught. What is not mentioned is has much of the DOUBLED sales tax went to city services and how much to CalPERS—which increased […] Read More and Comment: Did El Cerrito officials deceptively use public funds for tax-hike campaign?

Elias: Time to examine conspiracy in Peevey-PUC scandal By Stephen Frank on Feb 27, 2015 08:00 pm The former head of the PUC is the husband of Democrat State Senator Carol Lui, Michael Peevey.
