CALIFORNIA POLITICAL NEWS & VIEWS 11/18/2017

Daily commute takes its toll

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:20 pm
Why are people leaving California?  High taxes, unaffordable housing, bad roads and bad schools?  Yip add to that the gridlock of driving in cities like Los Angeles and the parking lots built by the State called “freeways”. “The 30-year-old teacher commutes from Pleasanton to San Mateo Park Elementary School every day, usually spending between 90 […]

San Diego County’s only licensed marijuana grower to double production

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:18 pm
On December 5, 1933 Prohibition ended.  On January 1, 2018, the prohibition of marijuana in California will have ended.  But, like you are not allowed to create bootleg alcohol, you are not allowed to grow your own marijuana, except in small amounts—and how many people have a green thumb?  So, after the beginning of the […]

Elias: How about incentives in bullet train contracts?

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:15 pm
The choo choo from nowhere was supposed to have its first run this year.  Yet, they will not even set the route until 2020 at the earliest.  They have signed billions in contracts, with only half a billion in tax dollars coming in—on a $200 billion project.  Already they have had billions in cost over […]

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:13 pm
Imagine a government school without ideology, bullies or politically correct teachers?  Chico schools are about to expand their online charter school—something other Districts are also doing.  Charter schools are great education opportunities for all—an online charter school take the politics out of education—and the unions. “The district currently offers online programs at both high schools […]

CNN Doesn’t Like Competition With Democrat Congressman Ted Lieu in the Fake News Category

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:11 pm
Torrance area Democrat/Socialist Congressman Ted Lieu would love to impeach Trump.  Bus has nothing to say about the Uranium deal of Hillary, the Russian collusion of the Clintons and friends.  Instead, he is praying that his hatred of Trump will get him into the Senate sometime in the future. “CNN’s John Berman and Poppy Harlow, […]

Ring: The Government Union War on Meritocracy

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:09 pm
Unions treat all workers the same.  All must pay extortion money, dues, to the union or they are not allowed to work.  Then the union blackmails the corporation—either allow us to run your shop or we will shut you down and scatter your customers to your competitors.  So, it is no surprise that workers are […]

Landmark Ruling Requires Removal of Lead Paint in Pre-1951 San Diego Homes

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:05 pm
Why is California so expensive and government abusive?  Look at this court decision.  These homes are owned mostly by the poor.  The real purpose of this ruling is to force homeowners to sell their property and let crony capitalists buy up the block and make a bundle by tearing down the homes and build new […]

Sand: More unaccountability from the education establishment

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:03 pm
In June 45% of the LAUSD “graduates” had a “D” average—that is being a functional illiterate.  Where is the accountability?  Santa Ana schools have 3% white students—it is among the most segregated districts in the nation.  We spend the most per student, yet get the least results.  Charter schools are at the top of most […]

Opinion: Community Choice Aggregation Sounds Too Good to Be True–Socialism

By Stephen Frank on Nov 17, 2017 08:01 pm
Choice Aggregation is the fancy new term for Socialism.  In this case tax dollars are used to take over the energy produced by private firms—and government sells it, as a monopoly to the people.  It can never lose money, since if they have a deficit, why work for a profit, they get government to subsidize […]
