CALIFORNIA POLITICAL NEWS & VIEWS 08/04/2017

Colman: DUMB AND DUMBER

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:49 pm
The Los Angeles Times reported last yesterday that the State College system is going to stop having California high school “graduates” take remedial English and/or math classes before taking college level classes.  In fact 80% of California graduates had to take the classes—now they won’t.  What does that mean?  More college dropouts, more wasted money […]

Paying doctors more—now will they treat more poor Californians?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:46 pm
Thanks to Jerry Brown, California doctors will get a raise of $325 million.  Sounds like a big raise, right.  But, it is the first raise in 17 years.  Now it is not so big—yet Brown thinks California doctors should now take MORE Medi-Cal patients—to lose money on.  This raise will not cause more doctors to […]

Anthem’s Retreat Leaves Californians With Fewer Choices, More Worries

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:43 pm
Covered California just got closer to collapsing.  One of the largest purveyors of insurance, Anthem, is dropping out of coverage for most of the State.  At the same time, after a 13% increase last year, this year the cost is going up on average 12.5%–but the most popular program is also going to include a […]

Electronic Monitoring of Defendants Is Increasing, But at What Price?

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:41 pm
If you want to be out on the streets, instead of jail waiting for your trial, who should pay for the GPS monitoring device—the honest citizens including your victims—or should you.  Now the criminal class are complaining they have to pay $26 a day to be able to be home with their friends and families. […]

Local Cities Looking for New Revenue, Possible Expense Cuts

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:39 pm
CalPERS, high State taxes, bad regulations, permits for building that takes years to get, bad schools, worse roads and cities are now paying the penalty of bad government policy. “In Farmersville, the city council has voted to place two tax measures on the November ballot. One for a ½ cent sales tax increase; and the […]

ICE announces results of Operation Border Guardian/Border Resolve

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:36 pm
Congratulations to ICE and President Trump—without new resources they are able to cut the number of folks sneaking into the country by about 70%.  ICE is arresting people that broke the law—regardless of the location of the detainment.  There are no sanctuaries for those who violate our laws. “All of the individuals targeted during this […]

Cannabis Grower Buys California Town to Build Pot-Friendly Outpost

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:34 pm
How rich are the marijuana growers?  Just to be able to operate without almost any local control, one grower found a WHOLE town to buy.  Not a joke. “American Green Inc., a maker of cannabis products, is taking an unusual step to attract new customers as it capitalizes on California legalizing marijuana: It’s buying an […]

Left Upset Yuba County JAILS Criminals From Foreign Counties

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:31 pm
The Progressives are really upset with the good people of Yuba County.  The Board of Supervisors and the Sheriff are actually using unused jail space, renting it out to the Feds and detaining illegal aliens in the County jail.  The Left can not believe this they are going ballistic. “Rafael is one of roughly 200 […]

San Fran is Racist: Unemployment for City is 2.7%–For Blacks—20%

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:29 pm
You would think that a city as Progressive and bigoted as San Fran would make sure people of color had a great education, good housing and great jobs.  The black community of San Fran is being treated like the black communities in Alabama in the 1950’s—lots of nice talk—but no results. “The neighborhood has around […]

After legalizing weed, California’s black market could remain huge

By Stephen Frank on Aug 03, 2017 08:27 pm
Why you buy marijuana in California that has included in the price a sales tax, permit and other fees included, the cost of a building utilities, corporate and Federal taxes?  You could buy the same product on the street and save 25-50% of the cost of the product.  Does Sacramento think dopers are so stupid […]
