Can LA Afford Its High Priced, Inefficient Workforce? Paid Much More Than Private Sector By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 08:23 pm “Working” for the city of Los Angeles maybe one of the cushiest jobs in California. It is also one of the easiest and best paid—not only by government standards but by private industry levels. Even the Los Angeles Times is taking on this boondoggle. While Mayor Garcetti is crying and begging for more money, the […] Read More and Comment: Can LA Afford Its High Priced, Inefficient Workforce? Paid Much More Than Private Sector Supervisor Mike Antonovich: Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens is Irresponsible By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 08:08 pm In 1969 I worked for Mike Antonovich, in his first political race. He ran for the newly created Los Angeles Community College Board of Trustees. Mike was elected, along with another first time candidate, Jerry Brown. Mike went on to be an Assemblyman, Chairman of the California Republican Party and for more than thirty years […] Read More and Comment: Supervisor Mike Antonovich: Drivers Licenses for Illegal Aliens is Irresponsible Obama Economic Policies Working! In 1 in 5 Families in U.S., No One Works By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 08:05 pm Great news for TV channels—20% of American families have nothing better to do than watch bad re-runs, silly reality shows and propaganda claiming to be the 6:00pm news. Now I understand why the Kardashians are so popular—folks like watching people get rich for being slutty, obnoxious and getting drunk. Thanks to the results of Obama […] Read More and Comment: Obama Economic Policies Working!

By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 08:00 pm I love it when a non-profit spends dollars that give the donor a tax deduction to create a study or poll that a fifth grader could know the answer without cheating. The Institute for Advanced Technology and Public Policy is one of those organizations set up for the “study” of public policy. In an expensive […] Read More and Comment: Polling –Citizens Want Transparent Government–NO Surprise–What is Real Goal of Organization? More Smart Students opt out of Common Core –75% in Calabasas By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 07:55 pm A couple of days ago the California Political News and Views reported on the brave and very smart students of Palos Verdes High School that refused to waste their time taking a phony test ordered by the Obama Administration—through the efforts of the richest man on earth, Bill Gates. The Common Core test that was […] Read More and Comment: More Smart Students opt out of Common Core –75% in Calabasas Thousands of L.A. nurses to strike for safer staffing levels–about unions NOT patients By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 07:45 pm Governor Pete Wilson listened to the teachers union when they begged for small classroom size. Hire more teachers, and give each child a better education. In the twenty years since, California schools have not improved—but the teachers union have more people to extort—either pay a bribe or you do not work. Now the nurses’ union […] Read More and Comment: Thousands of L.A. nurses to strike for safer staffing levels–about unions NOT patients Berkeley is making the California Dream a Nightmare. By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 07:40 pm Berkeley has decided to become more like the dense cities of New York and Chicago, instead of the California dream of low density, single homes that California is known for. It also wants to have more “affordable housing’, high densities. In New York these complexes are eventually called high crime rate slums. So, tax dollars […] Read More and Comment: Berkeley is making the California Dream a Nightmare. Guv Brown to Waste Moire Water Bond Money on NON-Water Projects By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 07:30 pm When you voted for the 2014 $7.5 billion water bond I bet you thought the money was going to be used to create water storage facilities and stop water that is flowing into the ocean to be diverted for human use. That was the lie Jerry Brown used to stiff the people of California. Instead […] Read More and Comment: Guv Brown to Waste Moire Water Bond Money on NON-Water Projects Group Proud Voters Choice for Legislative Office Limited—Like the Old Jim Crow laws. By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 07:26 pm Those supporting the California version of the old Souths’ Jim Crows laws are as happy as a Klan member in 1950 in Alabama. Thanks to the radicals that convinced us to outlaw partisan primaries and to create an electoral process that eliminates Third parties from the political process, 2014 saw the lowest voter turnout in […] Read More and Comment: Group Proud Voters Choice for Legislative Office Limited—Like the Old Jim Crow laws. Three California Cities Top Gallup List of Residents Least Likely to Feel Safe By Stephen Frank on May 01, 2015 07:22 pm Once again Jerry Brown, the ACLU and the Democrats must be busting their buttons with pride. In all of the nation three California cities top a list. In this case it is citizens feeling the LEAST SAFE. With AB 109 putting 60,000 criminals back on the streets because they were “uncomfortable” in prison, Prop. 47 […] Read More and Comment: Three California Cities Top Gallup List of Residents Least Likely to Feel Safe   In Case You Missed It: 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 Oyster Farmer: ‘We Are Terrified’ Of The Gov’t”–So are We ALL BART Faces Big Investment Shortfall, State Auditor Says–$10 Billion California Loses 300 More Jobs and a Major Small Business Firm
