By Stephen Frank on Sep 17, 2015 09:03 pm
Congrats to the City of Berkeley. While everyone is discussing the negative effects of raising the minimum wage to $15, they are discussing going to $19.

This […]

S.F. Unified Relying on Homegrown Teachers and Interns to Fill Void

By Stephen Frank on Sep 17, 2015 08:57 pm
California has a teacher’s shortage. Those that care about the professional are not allowed to teach a non political curriculum. Others, especially in San Fran fear to go into the classroom, due to the District policy of “Restorative Justice”—this allows dangerous kids and disrupters to stay in the classroom. Then you have an organization having […]

What the Heck Is the Mexican Mafia?

By Stephen Frank on Sep 17, 2015 08:54 pm
A few weeks ago a court ordered that several thousand of the most dangerous criminals in our prisons be taken out of solitary confinement. What got them into solitary for months or years at a time?

If you are a whistleblower against a corrupt union, you are the one in trouble, not the crooks. In Oakland, this union town protects unions against the workers forced to pay bribes to work and the public forced to pay for the corruption. “She claims that her firing was an act of whistleblower retaliation. Santana […]

California’s fiscal crisis isn’t over—and this year’s tax proposals won’t solve it

By Stephen Frank on Sep 17, 2015 08:45 pm
In California there is one truth: government can never get enough money. On June 15 the confused governor announced a balanced budget. The next day he announces a special session of the legislature to raise billions in taxes—he “forgot” to add the cost of his desired expansion of Medi-Cal and the need to fix roads […]

By Stephen Frank on Sep 17, 2015 08:43 pm
The city of Huntington Beach is going to nickel and dime the tourists and citizens of “Surf City” to get the money needed to pay for more police—five more.

By Stephen Frank on Sep 17, 2015 08:39 pm
The California recovery is going so well that another major technology firm is doing a layoff. While folks are wondering why the Federal Reserve did not increase the interest rate, even by a quarter of a point, they know the economy is in deep trouble. This means 300 well paying jobs are lost. How many […]
