Higher pay, smaller classes, housing perks in San Francisco Bay Area district’s plan to attract teachers

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:35 pm
Get real—there is not enough money in education to help teachers stay in the Bay Area—unless they are independently wealthy.  The average home in San Fran is $1.6 million and San Jose a mere $1.2 million.  Affordable housing—unions have stopped those projects.  Give a teacher a small class and they still can not afford to […]

Lawmakers Proposed $3 Billion in Higher Taxes and Fees in Three Months

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:33 pm
If you are a Democrat there is no way you can tax or spend too much.  In fact, the June primary showed there is a competition between Democrat candidates to see who can give away more free things—and tax the rich even more.  At some point the rich will get smart and create gridlock on […]

High Home Prices And Congestion Shrink The California Dream

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:30 pm
Unions demand that only their members work on housing projects.  If the project has ANY government assistance, the law is clear—you must pay a bribe to the unions or you do not work.  If the project tries to work with the best workers—regardless of membership in a union, the union will file an environmental lawsuit, […]

LAUSD’s Latest Overpayment Scam—with UTLA’s Help

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:28 pm
LAUSD is bankrupt—educational and financially.  It is a district that in 2015 gave 45% of its diploma’s to students with a “D” average.  They give diploma’s to the functional illiterate and proclaim victory because so many get a worthless diploma. “Given the hundreds- if not thousands- of teachers that have been sued by LAUSD for […]

Transparency a Must for LA’s Underfunded Pension Plans

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:26 pm
Did you know that 20% of the budget of the City of Los Angeles goes to pay for pensions—and with that it is still billions underfunded?  No wonder the city can not arrest criminals—it can’t afford the prosecution.  Now wonder the city is filled with potholes—no money to finance the repairs.  This is a city […]

Walters: Did Brown fix California’s budget mess? Nope

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:22 pm
California has more than a trillion in debt and unfunded liabilities.  The really confused Guv Brown is proud to say we have a $9 billion surplus, a $16 billion rainy day fund—yet raised taxes on cell phones by $60 million.  The Democrats in the last year in Sacramento proposed a total of $272 billion in […]

Is California’s legacy environmental law protecting the state’s beauty or blocking affordable housing?

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:18 pm
Want to stop affordable housing, more lanes on a freeway or a new industrial park?  Easy.  File suit in State and Federal court that the project violates some environmental law.  In reality, it doesn’t has to—but the lawsuit is used to extort the businesses involved, raises the cost of the project and in many instances, […]

What was left out of the privacy legislation–Government!

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:16 pm
As usual, Sacramento wants you to obey the law.  If not, you get fined or jailed.  Government prefers not to have the laws pertain to them—allow them to violate your privacy, without recourse. “The Legislative Analyst’s Office concluded that the measure would result in “potentially significant costs to state and local governments.” That would have […]

UC Berkeley settles anti-conservative discrimination lawsuit

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 08:14 pm
You have to laugh at the jokers running UC Berkeley—and Janet Napolitano running the UC system.  They got caught discriminating against conservative groups, forced to pay for it—then claim they did not have to change policy. “According to ADF, UC Berkeley told YAL last year that it was “too similar” to Cal Libertarians despite substantial […]

Millionaires Flee California After Tax Hike

By Stephen Frank on Jul 08, 2018 07:23 pm
You can tax people to death.  California has taxed people out of the State.  In fact, it is the richest, most productive people, along with the middle class trying to survive for themselves and their families.  Jerry Brown has made it clear—he wants YOU out. “According to new research released by Charles Varner, associate director […]
