Guv Brown: Use $287Million of Water Bond for Delta Smelt to Have Water—NO DAMS By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:34 pm Jerry Brown cried in 2014 that we needed a water bond, to build water storage facilities. Of the $7.5 billion, $750 million has been allocated so far but not a dime for dams. He lied to us. Now it is much worse. Farms are closing down, food prices are going up. The State is looking […] Read More and Comment: Guv Brown: Use $287Million of Water Bond for Delta Smelt to Have Water—NO DAMS In San Fran the “F” Word is FREEDOM—Private Property Rights Have been Ended By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:31 pm In San Fran when you say the “F” word, it is not a four letter word. To the radicals in this intolerant city, the “F” word is FREEDOM. They do not believe in private property (except their own—yours is up for grabs). If I owned a single family home or a condo in San Fran, […] Read More and Comment: In San Fran the “F” Word is FREEDOM—Private Property Rights Have been Ended Oyster Farmer: ‘We Are Terrified’ Of The Gov’t”–So are We ALL By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:28 pm It is not just an oyster farmer that is terrified of government. How about Clive Bundy? Anybody remember Ruby Ridge or the government massacre of women and children in Waco? Every April 15th the economic stability of Americans is endangered. Thanks to the anti-farm policies’ of Obama and Guv Brown our Central Valley farmers are […] Read More and Comment: Oyster Farmer: ‘We Are Terrified’ Of The Gov’t”–So are We ALL BART Faces Big Investment Shortfall, State Auditor Says–$10 Billion By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:25 pm On any given day the tens of billions of dollars forced from taxpayers to pay for BART can be wasted because a union official had a bad night with their spouse or significant other. It does not take much for a union to call a day long strike inconveniencing hundreds of thousands and disrupting business. […] Read More and Comment: BART Faces Big Investment Shortfall, State Auditor Says–$10 Billion California Loses 300 More Jobs and a Major Small Business Firm By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:23 pm There will be 300 people from the South Bay area of Los Angeles forced to move to Texas or look for another job. The good news is that they will get better housing, for half the price in Texas. Plus, they will receive a 10% pay raise, by not paying income tax to California—Texas allows […] Read More and Comment: California Loses 300 More Jobs and a Major Small Business Firm Judge Denies Injunction On Open Taxi Market In San Diego–Freedom Restored By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:19 pm A Judge in San Diego has used the bench to legalize freedom and the Constitution. This is a rare occurrence. He decided that if you want to be a taxicab driver and owner, it is your right. The decision means the monopoly of 993 taxi drivers is over. Thanks to the innovation of Uber and […] Read More and Comment: Judge Denies Injunction On Open Taxi Market In San Diego–Freedom Restored ACLU Tolerance for Criminals Harms Oakland Children By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:14 pm The children of Oakland are being raised in a war zone—no different than the kids in the Middle East—except the terrorists are home grown and protected by the ACLU, Guv Brown, Kamela Harris and the Democrat Party. Thanks to AB 109 releasing close to 60,000 criminals from prison back onto our streets, the decent folks […] Read More and Comment: ACLU Tolerance for Criminals Harms Oakland Children Ring: Pension Reformers are not “The Enemy” of Public Safety By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:12 pm Does it help the police to have peace of mind if they know their pensions are unsustainable and that no matter how much they work, in the future what they thought they were going to get when retired is a pipedream? The police and firefighters deserve better—even if their unions, which they are to pay […] Read More and Comment: Ring: Pension Reformers are not “The Enemy” of Public Safety Governor calls for aggressive pollution reduction order–kill jobs and economy quicker By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:08 pm Our very confused Guv Brown has done all he could to assure low wages, few jobs and an economic climate the Texas Chamber of Commerce can support. By not stopping water flowing into the ocean, by not waiving environmental laws so desalinization plants can be built and not using bond money (as promised) to build […] Read More and Comment: Governor calls for aggressive pollution reduction order–kill jobs and economy quicker ObamaCare a bust in California as many had to repay subsidies to IRS By Stephen Frank on Apr 30, 2015 08:04 pm The poor and middle class of California have been taken for an economic ride by Barack Obama. He told us ObamaCare will provide better health care at a lower price. For those unable to afford it, their health care will be subsidized—some only paying $1 a month for a card promising full health care.   But […] Read More and Comment: ObamaCare a bust in California as many had to repay subsidies to IRS   In Case You Missed It: “Unemployment Act of 2016″ Union Group Submits 2016 Initiative to Boost California’s Minimum Wage Sand: Myth Ended: Size Does NOT Matter (in the Classroom) State Supreme Court Could End Theft of Private Property by Government AND Lower Housing Costs for ALL Smart Students: Refuse to Take Common Core Test Based on Miseducation/Privacy Invasion Criminal justice, sentencing reforms gain traction–how to put more criminals on street
