City Says Tax Haters Have Run Amok
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:37 pm
What
is the crime committed by these people, “A “renegade band” of
tax-haters could cost a California city millions by refusing to pay “a
single cent” to clean up carcinogenic groundwater despite a state order,
the city says in court. The City of Dixon sued the Solano County
Taxpayers’ Association and its president Gary Riddle […]

Leftist Bay Area: Worst Offender of Income Inequality in Nation!
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:33 pm
Hypocrite
Hillary complains about “income inequality” while she and Bill earn $25
million in a year. The far Left Bay Area, home of Feinstein, Boxer, San
Fran Nan , Fidels best friend Barbara Lee and other income distribution
Democrats, has twice the income inequality as the national average.
“There is now more than a quarter-million-dollar […]

SoCal schools may see more interns, substitutes in classrooms as teacher shortage grows
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:31 pm
Common
Core is dumbing down government education. In the past five years 26%
FEWER students wanted to become teachers, be controlled by unions and
pay bribes to hold a job. Our students will come back to
uncredentialled, interns as their “teachers”. Need any more reason to go
to Charter schools, private schools, home schooling or […]

Runner: Attempts to change Proposition 13 are misguided
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:29 pm
Were
it not for Prop. 13, most Californians would have lost their homes in
1978-80. At that time property taxes were going up 25-50% a year—in Los
Angeles County it was 50%. Thanks to Prop. 13 California commercial
property holds value—the higher the property taxes, the lower the value
of the property. Prop. 13 allows […]

Will Obama Trade Agreement Finish Off the Los Angeles Apparel Manufacturers?
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:24 pm
Thanks
to the Republican leadership in Congress and President Obama, the
apparel makers in Los Angeles are about to go out of business—with the
jobs being shipped overseas. The good news is that many illegal aliens
will lose their jobs, the bad news is that they will take the jobs of
honest Americans, in another […]

Cost of 3-D Printer Cut in Half—Technology Doing Better Than Minimum Wage Advocates
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:21 pm
My
first cell phone was bigger than a shoe box, cost a fortune and I paid
forty-five cents a minute to use it. My base cost was $65 a month, that
gave me 200 minutes—then the per minute charge. Today My wife and I pay
under $160 a month, unlimited minutes –I use about 4,000 […]

Why Do California Public Pension Systems Get Special Treatment?
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:18 pm
Using
the State accounting procedures CalPERS has an unfunded liability of
$57 billion, CalSTRS has an unfunded liability of $73 billion and the
government health system has an unfunded liability of $64 billion. None
of those numbers are true—just the State of California underestimating
the real liability. Using Federal pension accounting criteria, CalPERS
is at […]

The increasing workplace worry on offering wellness perks? Breaking the law
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:16 pm
Thanks
to ObamaCare the new trend in businesses providing healthy “perks” to
employees may have to stop. The good news is that employment lawyers
will be able to keep up their payments on the Mercedes they just bought.
The better news is that lobbyists and politicians will continue to be
able to pull in big […]

The Great Recession Still has Adverse Consequences
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:14 pm
Lack
of confidence in the economy shows every day. Some days the Dow goes up
by 150 points—other days, like yesterday, it goes day by over 350
points. Folks do not feel comfortable buying homes, home sales have been
down, employers hire workers for under 30 hours—so they can stay open
by not paying for […]

New rules try to spotlight hidden retirement debt–$500 Billion?
By Stephen Frank on Jun 29, 2015 05:11 pm
Using
a modified Federal accounting system and criteria—CalPERS, CalSTRS and
the State health system have a combined $500 BILLION unfunded
liabilities—more than triple what the systems report, though less than
half the full accounting system numbers. Regardless, these programs are
not sustainable and in fact the liabilities are growing every day—making
it more unsustainable. “Using […]
