Millennials Are Leaving Los Angeles

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:56 pm
Millennials are smart enough not to pay for mediocre health care.  They were smart enough not to vote for Hillary.  They understand that crony capitalists, the Wall Street types, the elites, the Establishment, want to use them, not help them.  They know that thanks to the high tax policies living in LA, San Fran, San […]

Prop 47-The Ill-Considered Initiative That Keeps on Failing

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:51 pm
Jerry Brown lied to the public when he said Prop. 47, passed in 2014 would save money.  Instead crime spiked, thousands of new victims, thousands more sent to the ER room and tens of thousands of new crimes for the police to investigate.  Thanks to Prop. 47 guns sales in California will hit one million […]

School Choice Motivates Neighborhood Schools to Compete

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:48 pm
Congressman Tom McClintock likes to say what makes Ford great is General Motors.  Denver had a 39% graduation rate before the charter school movement.  Now ten years later the graduation rate is 65%–because 25% of all the student in Denver attend public charter schools.  Competition is making the Denver schools better—this is good for everyone. […]

San Francisco Observations

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:44 pm
In 2004 I was in New York City for the Republican national Convention.  While on the road I can’t sleep, so at 2:00am I decided to take a short walk around Times Square.  Boy, was I shocked—almost all the stores were open and crowded.  The Starbucks had a line out the day.  It was like […]

Electing To ‘Opt Out’ Of Obamacare

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:38 pm
Here is the choice given to many in this country thanks to Barack Obama.  Pay $13-15,000 a year in premiums for mediocre health insurance, limited numbers of doctors and a $3-6,000 deductibles before the insurance company pays a dime.  Or, you pay $1,000 to the IRS in penalties and pay for the health care as […]

CalPERS cuts tiny town’s pensions by 60 percent

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:34 pm
Watch the town of Loyalton—retired employees are getting their retirement pay cut by 60%.  Starting July 1, 2017 your city is going to be paying significantly higher contributions to CalPERS just to keep the system sending out checks—it is only 68% funded—and has a $991 billion unfunded liability. “It’s a rare situation in which Loyalton, […]

Berkeley School Board may levy new fees on development

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:31 pm
Government can never get enough taxes.  In Berkeley it is amazing folks can buy a taco after paying tacos.  Even though the last election was only a few days ago, the School Board is looking at raising developer fees—because they do not have enough money.  At some point, like developers in Los Angeles, they may […]

Bail reform tops criminal-justice efforts in next legislative session

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:22 pm
Currently, there are lawsuits in Sacramento and San Fran trying to end bail for those arrested.  Instead, regardless of the crime, if they are “poor”, they would be released in the hope they would show up for court.  This is not a joke.  Think of the 93% of the illegal aliens that fail to show […]

Big Jump in Drug Use Found Among Men Booked Into San Diego Jails

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:19 pm
Drugs are back in style for the criminal class and with the passage of Prop. 64, for everyone.  Who cares?  Under Prop. 47 use of drugs is no longer an important crime—so what if crimes are committed for and in the name of drugs?  This is the start of the next drug crisis in the […]

Overcrowded California

By Stephen Frank on Nov 18, 2016 08:16 pm
In the 1970’s Guv Brown had policies to force people to leave California.  It has taken forty years, but he has gotten his wish.  The middle class is fleeing the State as too expensive, high taxes, bad schools and roads.  This is a State where the Left bullies honest citizens and government protects the criminals.
