A Tax a Travel!!! Avalon (Catalina) Wants to Tax Travel to their Island

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:26 pm
This is not a joke.  The community of Avalon will vote next month on a tax on tourists!  If this works, maybe Anaheim could solve its budget/CalPERS problems with a tax on tourists as well.  The good news is if you swim the 26 miles to Catalina you will not be taxed. “A resident of […]

Eber: Public Education sputters in California

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:22 pm
LAUSD gives diploma’s to kids with a “D” average.  Democrats want gun free zones at schools, yet have no problem keeping kids in the classroom that are bullies and brought weapons to the class?  Think kids are getting a real education when only junk science is taught in science classes—one view allowed—only. “One of the […]

Fear, absenteeism, falling grades among impacts of immigration crackdown, study finds

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:18 pm
Here is something else you can blame on President Trump—illegal alien student absenteeism is growing—and their grades are falling.  This may all be true.  But, I do not blame Trump—I blame the parents of the students, they brought the children here illegally.  They are now hiding them.  Maybe Child Services should take the kids from […]

Bend, Oregon, is becoming a commuter town for Silicon Valley despite the 10-hour drive

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:11 pm
How high is the cost of living and housing in the Silicon Valley?  Folks are moving to Bend, Oregon, ten hours away!  Yet, still work in the Valley.  With conferencing technology and the need NOT to be in the office, those that can, live as far away from the crash of the Valley. “Pleasance’s family […]

How more generous pensions boosted city costs

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:09 pm
We all know that at current rates, CalPERS is bankrupting numerous cities—and almost all cities and agencies in California have been forced to cut back basic services and employees.  In large part due to the corruption and mismanagement of CalPERS.  Now the cities are creating policies’ to make it even worse—at their own expense! “Last […]

Fear and Loathing of L.A. and S.F. on the Campaign Trail

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:05 pm
Gavin Newsom is a full on Socialist.  Tony Villar is a full on Socialist.  One has a broad smile, the other a nice smile.  Either way, neither believes in your rights, instead both believe that State is smarter than its citizens.  The choice in November for California will be the Sanderista wing of the Socialist […]

Refinery workers push to fix broken ethanol mandate

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:03 pm
In many places in California when you buy a gallon of gas, you are NOT buying a galling of gas—you are buying 85% of a gallon of gas and the other 15% is ethanol—a corn derivative, to save the environment.  Actually, it is to bail out the price of corn for mid-west farmers, having nothing […]

UCLA students protest for comprehensive gun control laws

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 09:00 pm
I guess they no longer teach Constitutional law at UCLA.  Also, I would suggest the students prefer to be held hostage by criminals and not be able to defend themselves—this on a campus where assault and rape happens almost every day.  Set up the women for an assault, do not allow them to protect themselves.  […]

Tell VTA That Proposed Service Cuts are Misguided

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 08:55 pm
I guess the good folks in San Jose have money to burn and not much common sense.  The have a growing population and a declining ridership on government transportation.  Instead of cutting back on taxes, subsidies and gridlock causing buses, the tech geniuses want higher taxes, more government waste and more buses—instead of fixing the […]

Instead of Helping Californians with Mental Illness, Local Agencies Have Sat on $2.5 Billion

By Stephen Frank on Mar 05, 2018 08:51 pm
One of the major reasons for the crime we have today in California is due to the lack of mental health facilities.  Instead of sending sick people to jail, we could send them to get help.  Even better, before they commit a crime, they should get mental health assistance.  Several years ago we pass a […]
