By Stephen Frank on Sep 24, 2015 09:28 pm
I knew that Hawaii is a progressive State but did not know it also understood the limitations of government. In a rare move the State of Hawaii is outsourcing the management of a State hospital to Kaiser Permanente. As a long time Kaiser client, this is a great decision. “Gov.

$18 BILLION Government School Bond (including interest costs) Starts Bribing Interest Groups With Piece of the Pie

By Stephen Frank on Sep 24, 2015 09:23 pm
Here is the dirty secret—California government schools have to increase payments to CalSTRS by 50%–while CalSTRS is cutting investments in politically incorrect firms and industries. They prefer lower returns than meeting their fiduciary responsibilities. So, contractors, unions and crony capitalists are trying to bail out government schools with a $9 billion bond—after interest charges, the […]

Sand: When Union Bosses Become Employers

By Stephen Frank on Sep 24, 2015 09:19 pm
Unions extort teachers in California and other non-free to work States—either pay a bribe or you do not work. In Seattle teachers were told NOT to go to work—because the union said so, and kids suffered. Yet these very unions do not like their workers belonging to a unions—guess they do not like blackmail and […]

What’s left of California’s Climate Change policy? A lot.

By Stephen Frank on Sep 24, 2015 09:17 pm
Yes, SB 350 by DeLeon, to cut cars sales starting in 2020—and cutting in half cars allowed to be sold in the State (to cut in half “emissions”) was gutted of that new standard.   Our confused Guv Brown will now get the California Air Resources Board to dramatically raise the minimum mileage allowed for cars […]

By Stephen Frank on Sep 24, 2015 09:12 pm
This is really not a surprise but Los Angeles Unified School District was caught again, misusing education funds. This is the district that got ripped off spending one billion dollars on no-bid, unreliable, OVER PRICED iPADS—the criminal investigation on that is on going. “But a new report released Thursday argues that the huge Los Angeles […]
