Death Toll by Illegal Aliens Grows

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:39 pm
By definition, illegal aliens are criminals. They violate our immigration laws each day. They lie on forms to get education, health care, jobs and welfare. Then you have the 172,000 convicted illegal aliens that Obama has given amnesty so they can stay in this country. You know the names of Kate Steinle and Marilyn Pharis, […]

Anti-Growth ‘Make It Fair’ Lobby Pushes For $9 Billion Tax Increase In California—will Kill 397,000 Jobs

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:37 pm
California already has the highest taxes in the nation. We also have a $340 billion debt and close to one trillion dollars in unfunded government pensions statewide. The water crisis is forcing a realignment of jobs in the State, while turning us from a beautiful green to an ugly brown (that was not a double […]

Feds/Obama Protect the “Santa Ana Sucker” While People Go Without Water

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:34 pm
Does the Federal government have the right to take private lands out of circulation—so that the “Santa Ana sucker” (no, not a politician, a real fish) can be protected. Instead of water for people, the “sucker”—the fish, not the people, is protected. Like its Northern California fish bait friend the Delta Smelt, the Santa Ana […]

LA Times: Supreme Court ‘Erred’ in Creating Individual Right to Gun Ownership In 2008

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:32 pm
The Los Angeles Times ten years ago had a circulation of 1,000,000. Today it is listed at 376,000—including the free copies it gives out. A major reason is that the paper is no longer trusted or respected. Gallup just came out with a poll showing that only 40% of Americans trust mainstream media. Now the […]

L.A. under “state of emergency” for homelessness

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:27 pm
Did you know that there are so many homeless in a town of three million people, that the City Council had to declare an emergency. They claim it will take $100 million for many years to solve the problem. Is it a coincidence that the City is promising to build an Olympic Village for the […]

Denti-Cal Under Scrutiny From State Board

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:25 pm
California does not pay doctors enough to participate in Medi-Cal—so very few do, the doctors that need patients—because full paying patients go to other doctors. The same can be said of the Denti-Cal program. Good dentists stay away from a program where you lose money on every patient you see. “The audit pointed to low […]

Pleasanton: Consultant Recommends 33% Increase in Water Rates

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:22 pm
The people of Pleasanton have been really good in conserving water. The management of the Water District has been really bad in managing the system. The folks in this Northern California town are looking at massive rate increases and the District is looking at a complete financial collapse. As the water is conserved, the revenues […]

Confused Jerry Brown has Irrational Water Policy by Stephen Frank

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:19 pm
Thanks to a Federal agency, water districts will receive less water due to the so-called “Santa Ana sucker”. Add to this the water Guv Brown is giving to the steelhead trout, salmon and fish bait (delta smelt), the water he is allowing to flow out to the ocean, the refusal to create emergency rules to […]

Government transparency effort faces union backlash

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:17 pm
Government agencies negotiate with unions for wages and benefits.   At all times they are using tax dollars to pay the contract. Yet, except for Costa Mesa and a couple of other towns, the union/council deal is secret until it is about to be signed and the public is given little notice of the terms. Now […]

2016 Medicare Part B Premium Spike–Thanks Barack

By Stephen Frank on Oct 05, 2015 09:14 pm
I do not have to repeat this, but everybody knows that Obama lied about ObamaCare. Now a little over a year before he takes office and Hillary will have to defend the lies, the chickens have come home to roost. The cost of deductibles of health care is climbing—already very high. In some places the […]
