“Unemployment Act of 2016″ Union Group Submits 2016 Initiative to Boost California’s Minimum Wage

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:33 pm
San Fran has passed a minimum wage increase. Los Angeles is about to do it as well. Several other California cities have done the same. The poor of San Fran will wind up with a few getting more money (government will take a good deal of the increase via taxes) while over 15,000 will get […]

Sand: Myth Ended: Size Does NOT Matter (in the Classroom)

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:30 pm
When Pete Wilson was governor the unions convinced him to spend lots of money to lower class size, “to help the Kids”. Of course this was not about education, it was about money, power and control. The more teachers, needed or not, the higher the revenues of the unions, the more money to buy more […]

State Supreme Court Could End Theft of Private Property by Government AND Lower Housing Costs for ALL

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:24 pm
The concept of ‘affordable housing” is not about providing housing for some as low cost. It is the ideological process of taking from some and giving to others—that is the socialistic theory of equality. In this case, government forces developers to build housing, to build a number of units as “affordable”—under market priced housing. Then […]

Smart Students: Refuse to Take Common Core Test Based on Miseducation/Privacy Invasion

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:21 pm
Congratulations to the students at Palos Verdes High School in Los Angeles County. Unlike the “adults” in the legislature, they do not waste their time or steal from the public. Half the students refused to take the Common Core standardized test—untested itself, unproven, based on an education that teaches two plus two can equal five […]

Criminal justice, sentencing reforms gain traction–how to put more criminals on street

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:16 pm
AB 109 realigned our prisons—so that today the State prisons hold about 60,000 fewer criminals—most are back on the street. Plus, prosecutors seem to refuse to send criminals to prison because they get out too quickly. Then we have Prop. 47 that made many felonies no more important, like drugs, than spitting on the sidewalk. […]

After long fight, Orange County transportation officials agree to toll lanes on I-405

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:12 pm
Bad news for those driving through Orange County. After a lot of pressure, tax paid lanes of the 405 freeway will become toll road—the old fashion freeway is on its way out. Instead taxes and bonds to pay for roads—paid for by drivers and the public—they forced to pay again for the crime of driving […]

UC Berkeley Misused $1.8 Million in Taxpayer Funding

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:10 pm
In government there is a phrase, “money is fungible”. At Cal Berkeley they have taken it to a new level. So far $1.8 million has been found to be misused by the administrators of Berkeley. But seriously, is this so bad? We have a President that refuses to obey Congressional laws—gives amnesty to criminals, illegally, […]

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:07 pm
There are 800 American citizens not allowed to attend Cal State Fullerton.. Young people that worked hard at school to qualify for enrollment at Cal State Fullerton—that are instead forced to go to community college, to go to no college or join the military—all because government has a bias in favor of law breakers. As […]

EPA Spends $84,000 to Study Churches That Preach Climate Change

By Stephen Frank on Apr 29, 2015 08:04 pm
Your tax dollars are being used to monitor ministers in churches as they speak, or do not speak about “climate change”—the canard created by Al Gore to make him tens of millions of dollars and to use government to control our lives, while raising the cost of living and making more people poor. “A taxpayer-funded […]
