Guv Brown Plans to OPENLY MISUSE Federal $$: Plans to Put Federal Children’s Health Money into General Fund By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 09:11 pm It used to be when government misused money they did it in secret. With Obama as President and a bigoted Attorney General (both in D.C. and Sacramento) the very confused Guv Brown has no problem stealing from the Federal taxpayers and lying on applications forms—so much so, looks like he had mentors in doing this, […] Read More and Comment: Guv Brown Plans to OPENLY MISUSE Federal $$: Plans to Put Federal Children’s Health Money into General Fund The post Guv Brown Plans to OPENLY MISUSE Federal $$: Plans to Put Federal Children’s Health Money into General Fund appeared first on California Political Review. Political Parties Dead in California: Special Interests/Unions go “both ways” By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 09:07 pm There is a saying in politics. You can not buy a politician. But, like a prostitute, you can rent them. Corporations like Chevron, Bank of America, the California Chamber of Commerce want access and leverage—and they do not care if it is a big government Democrat or a limited government Republican, as long as they […] Read More and Comment: Political Parties Dead in California: Special Interests/Unions go “both ways” The post Political Parties Dead in California: Special Interests/Unions go “both ways” appeared first on California Political Review.

Brown Wants $6 Billion MORE for Education–$3.7 Billion Goes to CalSTRS By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 08:55 pm Jerry Brown knows how to lie by omission. He is bragging he is going to give government education $6 billion more. He is very confused which may be why he forgot that $3.7 billion of that money is going to CalSTRS—to keep their doors open—plus the districts have to pay 50% MORE in mandated contributions—so […] Read More and Comment: Brown Wants $6 Billion MORE for Education–$3.7 Billion Goes to CalSTRS The post Brown Wants $6 Billion MORE for Education–$3.7 Billion Goes to CalSTRS appeared first on California Political Review. Hillary and Barack Honest When Compared to High Speed Rail Authority By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 08:51 pm We were told the cost of a ROUND TRIP from LA to San Fran and back was going to be $55 –they lied. They gave us a ridership estimate—they lied, it is now only half of what they claimed. High Speed Rail people told Fresno officials that before they started to steal private property the […] Read More and Comment: Hillary and Barack Honest When Compared to High Speed Rail Authority The post Hillary and Barack Honest When Compared to High Speed Rail Authority appeared first on California Political Review. Biking and Walking Get About as Much Research Funding as Chicken Trucks By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 08:48 pm If you voted for the billions Arnold demanding in 2005 for transportation, because the roads were crumbling, you were punked. Instead close to $2 billion was used for giant trucking corporations to buy new engines for trucks—mandated by government—even though the engines had a dozen good years on them. Then Arnold and Jerry spent over […] Read More and Comment: Biking and Walking Get About as Much Research Funding as Chicken Trucks The post Biking and Walking Get About as Much Research Funding as Chicken Trucks appeared first on California Political Review. San Fran Left: Only Poor—NOT Wall Street—Should be Allowed to Invest in Housing? Silly Time By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 08:46 pm Looks like a lot of marijuana has hit the air in San Fran. The Progressives are too high to allow common sense or economics to affect their brains. They believe that only the poor and homeless, Not Wall Street, should be allowed to invest in and build affordable and market rate housing. Instead these “educated” […] Read More and Comment: San Fran Left: Only Poor—NOT Wall Street—Should be Allowed to Invest in Housing?

San Francisco may subsidize middle-class apartments for first time–taxes for middle-class to go up By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 08:43 pm Great news for the poor and the rich. San Fran is thinking of subsidizing “middle-class” apartments. Why isn’t this a good deal for the middle-class, cheaper housing? Because of TANSTAAFL—There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch.

Bill would protect grocery jobs, and union contract, after ownership change–private property rights gone By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2015 08:40 pm Private property is not what it used to be. HOA’s are allowed a lot of leeway in controlling the homes of those who live in these quasi-government agencies. It used to be customary that when you own a business you can hire and fire at will. Government rules and union extortion has changed that. Now […] Read More and Comment: Bill would protect grocery jobs, and union contract, after ownership change–private property rights gone The post Bill would protect grocery jobs, and union contract, after ownership change–private property rights gone appeared first on California Political Review.
