Radical Idea: Open Union/Government Contract Negotiations to the Public

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:45 pm
We have the Brown Act to keep government transparent and in the open.  Why not extend the Brown Act to add negotiations between unions and government agencies—especially since the union agreements control the rules, regulations and costs of government.  Instead of doing this in secret, make it public.  Allow the union folks to use the […]

Dianne Feinstein Desperate for Re-Election—Weaponizes Parkland shooting—Blame Guns not Government Policy

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:43 pm
We know that numerous government agencies knew that the shooter at Parkland High School in Florida was going to kill somebody.  They knew he was dangerous and a nut case.  Neighbors had complained to police about him—yet government claimed it could do nothing.  Yet a very sad, elderly Senator, Dianne Feinstein wants to blame guns, […]

L.A. Mayor Garcetti: We Will OPEN a Homeless “Pop-Up” shelter Next to YOUR Property

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:40 pm
Looks like L.A. Mayor Garcetti, who is a Democrat candidate for President (that is not a joke, he actually thinks he can run) has declared war on the Korean community in Los Angeles. Instead of placing the homeless shelter on vacant land, away from population and business, he will place it in the midst of […]

Proposition 3: An $8.87 billion water and habitat bond

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:38 pm
There will be eleven measures on the statewide ballot—the courts disallowed one, that would have allowed you to vote if you wanted to break up the State into three parts.  The courts did not want your voices to be heard. Prop. 3 is just another in a long line of water bonds.  I can not […]

Assembly Bill 3080 Is Bad for Jobs and Deserves The Governor’s Veto

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:35 pm
Like other Democrat pieces of legislation, AB 3080  is about using government to interfere with the employer-worker relationship.  Since unions are unable to get rid of arbitration for disputes, they went to the Sacramento Democrats and got them to pass legislation giving them what they could not get in collective bargaining. “Under AB 3080, California […]

Staffers accuse California Teachers Association of ‘betrayal’ over post-Janus cuts

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:33 pm
Even unions hate unions—when it is their employees that belong to a union. “Employees who work for the California Teachers Association claim union managers are trying to renege on an agreement in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Janus ruling, which ended the practice of unions charging agency fees to represent non-members. With teachers […]

In the Last 25 Years, Sonoma County’s Pension Liability Rose ELEVEN TIMES Faster Than Tax Revenues

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:29 pm
The current CEO of CalPERS is eminently qualified for her position—Marcie Frost has a high school diploma and lied on her resume.  But, it was her predecessors that are responsible for the $1.2 trillion in unfunded pension liabilities, according to the Stanford Pension Institute.  But, it is the local residents and communities that are paying […]

San Diego Housing shortage? Thanks to Sierra Club/Environmentalists

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:26 pm
San Diego, as well as the rest of California has a massive housing shortage.  In the Tejon Pass, on the border of Kern and L.A. Counties, it has taken close to twenty years, to get permission and away from the numerous crazy lawsuits, to build 19,000 homes.  In San Diego, 10,000 homes might take twenty […]

Kamala Harris’ questioning of Brett Kavanaugh is a reminder of her vicious, rotten career in law enforcement

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:23 pm
Kamala Harris started her political not by working on campaigns, but being the main squeeze of Willie Brown.  From that she went on, under his mentorship, she became the San Fran DA, the California Attorney General and then a U.S. Senator.  Now, just two years after entering the Senate, she is preparing herself to become […]

Can Anyone Control Out-of-Control CalPERS?

By Stephen Frank on Sep 07, 2018 09:17 pm
The Stanford Pension Institute, run by Democrat former Assemblyman Joe Nation, says that CalPERS has a $1.2 trillion unsustainable unfunded liability.  This is an agency when top staff members and Board members have gone to jail for corruption.  CalPERS is in the midst of doubling its mandated contributions—forcing cities to cut public safety, road repairs, […]
