San Fran Gov’t Schools Stop Teach America in Classroom—They Don’t Pay Bribes to Work

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:56 pm
This has nothing to do with the quality of the work accomplished by the Teach for America teachers used in 15 classroom.  This has nothing to do with the training they receive—or the fact they stay longer than regular teachers.  This is about decent, good teachers, part of the teach for America national effort do […]

Bipartisan group of Sacramento area leaders oppose recreational marijuana ballot measure

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:48 pm
This will be one of the most controversial measures on the November ballot.  Though the California Republican Party took a position against legalization of marijuana, it is a divisive issue inside the GOP and the Democrat Party.  The determination will be based, in my opinion, on whether a voter believes that it is the role […]

Why Restaurants Are Ditching The Switch To No Tipping–Free Market Allows Choices

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:45 pm
The world is changing.  In the Bay Area restaurants have been testing the concept of raising food prices while ending the practice if “tipping” the wait staff and others.  The concept was to raise prices by 21% to make up for the lack of tips—but some restaurants were raising their prices by 40% and people […]

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:43 pm
Has Guv Brown found a way to cover his $3 billion deficit?  Will he makes the drugs for lethal injections for the death penalty for California—to save money.  Then he can sell to new customers, like Texas.  By making our own we save on the middle man and do not have provide a profit for […]

We Need a New Owner of OUR LA Times … Here’s Why

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:41 pm
Seriously, it has been years since the Los Angeles Times had any meaning in Los Angeles.  For too long it was a left-wing ideologue, biased and wrong.  By the time they realized they had to become a real daily journal, cable TV and the Internet made the Times obsolete.  Whey wait till the morning to […]

Not So Fast, Kamala Harris

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:38 pm
If you believe the polls, the California November ballot will have Kamela Harris and Loretta Sanchez as the two candidates for United States Senate. No Republican will be on the ballot—thanks to Prop.14 and Charles Munger, Jr. who paid for the passage of the measure to outlaw political parties from nominating candidates. In 2012 and […]

Budget Primer for California Citizen Taxpayers

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:36 pm
Even for those of us that have a basic understanding of the budget, it is difficult to understand.  Are we talking about the “general fund” budget of a little over $120 billion, or the structural budget which is advertised at just under $170 billion—or the real budget—all the money spent by the State of California—which […]

What Teachers Lose to Pension Debt–Higher Wages, SAFER Pensions

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:35 pm
The teachers in California paying bribes to a union to keep their jobs and also paying a major penalty for paying the extortion are getting lowered wages.  They are losing thousands of dollars in years in pay, so the school districts can finance the failing CalSTRS system. “That means more than $6,800 public dollars per […]

Mississippi School District Must DESEGRGATE—With 30% white Students—LAUSD with 9% White Students Ignored by Obama—San Fran 13% White Ignored

By Stephen Frank on May 17, 2016 07:33 pm
Last Sunday I spent time with friends from Cleveland, Mississippi down in Orange County.  Nice folks.  Did not know that their schools are considered segregated—they have “about 66 percent black, 30 percent white and 4 percent Asian or Hispanic.” A Federal court has ruled they have to “desegregate”. But no court is willing to demand […]
