More Than 800 Laws Take Effect in California in 2016–How Many Will YOU Break

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:37 pm
See the LA Times list of new laws for 2016. It will make your head spin. There is no way you can go through a day without violating a new law—or potentially forcing the closure of your business. See here. In 1964 Sen. Barry Goldwater ran for president. He said, “My aim is not to […]

Report: Kaiser Permanente Among Top Violators of HIPPA

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:35 pm
Over the past few days the server on which the “California Political News and Views—California Political Review” is on was hacked and closed for three days. Last night I found out it was not just our site hacked with a “denial of service attack” but tens of thousands of sites forced to close. We do […]

Mall Owner ”Donates” to Stop Competitive Mall Development

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:33 pm
I have no problem with two malls in one area—that is the free market, let the best mall win. Yet, in Carlsbad you have a proposal to build a second mall—and that owner has put up, so far, over $650,000 for the ballot measure to gain voter approval. The other mall owner, so far, has […]

UC Irvine prof. wonders if 200,000 jobs lost to minimum wage increase is a good thing

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:31 pm
We now know that since 2008, the California minimum wage laws have cost 200,000 jobs. On January 1, 2016 the State mandated minimum wage went up from $9 to $10—wonder how many people will not have a job filling taco shells today?   In San Fran there was a study that showed the proposed (now law) […]

San Fran Artists to Get City to Finance Purchase of Housing—Instead of $ Used for Affordable Housing

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:27 pm
Based on the goal of San Fran Mayor Ed Lee of creating at least 30,000 housing units in the next ten years, while providing housing for close to 200,000 in total, the intolerant city (its school system has only 13% white student, rivaling the segregation of LAUSD which has 9% white students) needs to create […]

Editorial by Stephen Frank: California Governance is by Ballot Measure

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:25 pm
Who needs legislators when you have ballot measures making policy? Indeed, the only way we can stop the choo-choo train to no where is through another ballot measure. Of course when the High Speed Rail Authority goes belly up—no new money is coming into its accounts—then maybe those on the Board of Directors will admit […]

Silicon Valley “Creates” Man Made Diamonds—LOOK REAL

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:22 pm
In the mid 1990’s I bought an IBM computer, a monitor and a couple of printers, ink jet and dot.matrix—the cost was $10,000 for everything! Today you can run a billion dollar business on a computer system that costs less. Go into a restaurant that can a box on the table—you can order your meal, […]

Pension Reform Via Ballot Does Not Stop CalPERS Collapse

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:20 pm
The 2014 elections saw the lowest turnout of voters in the primary (25%) and the General Election (42%) in the history of the State. Why vote—in 28 legislative districts there was only ONE political party on the November ballot—why vote if you are a Democrat and only Republicans are on the ballot? Then, for years […]

LA Violent Crime UP 19.9% in One Year—Criminal Advocates to Push for More Crime in California

By Stephen Frank on Jan 03, 2016 07:17 pm
We knew that when you throw 50,000 prisoners back on the street (because a judge ruled they were uncomfortable) crime would go up. When Prop. 47 passed, making felonies into misdemeanors cops would not arrest “minor” violations since the DA offices said they would not prosecute, we knew that crime would go up. For criminals, […]
