Waste of Week: EPA Spends $15,000 to Get Hotel Guests to Take Shorter Showers—Seriously!

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:10 pm
This is not a joke. Jay Leno did not make this story up. Your Federal government took $15,000 of your money to create a device to get hotel guests to take shorter showers. Now even taking a shower is going to be reported to government. Interesting, what can the government do to punish the “long” […]

Nine of Ten MOST Expensive Cities in U.S. Are in California

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:09 pm
As Californians we need to be proud. Imagine, thanks to regulations, taxes, fees and government, nine of the ten most expensive cities in the whole nation are in California—only Honolulu gets into the monopoly California has on expensive cities in the nation. We are killing ourselves—when we pass phony water bonds, promising dams and instead […]

Obama Lied and People Lose Doctors and Money

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:07 pm
What happened to the $2500 a year families would save on ObamaCare? Seriously, except for the lame folks at CNN, MSNBC and the Times/Post, everybody knew Obama lied. Keep your doctor? We all knew this was a lie. “First, the average premium — net of subsidies — has jumped 23 percent from 2014. In both […]

Will Los Angeles CLOSE Down SoCal Edison and Socialize a Public Utility?

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:06 pm
If I wanted to make the cost of electricity higher, with NO alternatives, I would sign the petition to have the City of Los Angeles, using tax dollars, create a public utility to provide electricity. Want to see it in action, just look at the massive expensive and openly corrupt Department of Water and Power […]

New Scrutiny For Brown’s Retiree Health Care Proposal As Labor Talks Begin

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:05 pm
In the near future billions of dollars of health benefits will be decided between the governor and the unions—as if there is much of a difference—the taxpayers have no representative at that table. Remember, the unions are the biggest donors to Jerry Brown and the Democrat Party of California. So, when they sit down in […]

No Need for Elections to Fill Vacant Legislative Seats—Appoint Instead/End Elections

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:04 pm
Thanks to the November, 2014 election, three State Senate seats became vacant. It is possible, based on the special elections yesterday that two Assembly seats will be vacant, hence two more Special Elections down the road. These elections are expensive—as is democracy. So, end the democracy and just have the Governor appoint their friends to […]

California Is Turning Back Into A Desert And There Are No Contingency Plans

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:03 pm
Guv Brown and Barack the First have decided birds and fish deserve our water before people and farmers. Both have agreed NOT to build new dams. Though the people of California, at the behest of our very confused Guv Brown pass a water bond measure, including dams, as expected, Brown lied—the first half billion was […]

California Endangered Species: People or Animals by Stephen Frank

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:02 pm
The Delta Smelt is NOT the problem. The use of the Delta Smelt as the excuse to cut off water to people and farms is the problem. This is not about savings species—it is about pushing jobs and families out of the State. “The San Francisco Chronicle ran a column claiming the Delta Smelt problems […]

California’s Public Records Law Has ‘No Teeth’ … Why Doesn’t That Upset Us?

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:01 pm
Under California law you are guaranteed the right to ask for any public document. But, the State does not guarantee you can get the requested information. This is another example of the fraud of “open government”. In fact tax money is being used to hire attorneys to stop citizens from getting FOIA’d material. Then you […]

Is Obama Proposal the End of Taxpayer-Subsidized Sports Stadiums?

By Stephen Frank on Mar 17, 2015 08:00 pm
Is it possible that Barack Obama is doing something to protect our citizens from the billionaires stealing tax dollars for their play toys? It looks like President Obama wants to take away the tax exempt status of bonds that are used to build stadiums and arenas. Why should taxpayers, nationwide, help finance a stadium for […]
