Pelosi on Caravan: Republicans Have ‘Baseless Fear of Some Families 1,000 Miles Away from the Border’ By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:36 pm San Fran Nan is waiting for the bullet to be shot before she takes any defensive action.  Instead of trying to prevent chaos and trouble, she wants to wait till it happens, then say, nothing can be done about it.  It is “resistance” in the worst form—harming thousands, costing hundreds of millions of dollars and […] Read More and Comment: Pelosi on Caravan: Republicans Have ‘Baseless Fear of Some Families 1,000 Miles Away from the Border’   Poverty in California Why one of America’s richest states is also its poorest By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:25 pm While Jerry Brown and his Democrat buddies brag about how great California is doing, more than 12 million folks in the State live in poverty—and many others, the remainders of the middle class are looking for an exit strategy.  The good news is that Tennessee, Texas and Arizona are well run States—low taxes and respect […] Read More and Comment: Poverty in California Why one of America’s richest states is also its poorest   Yes, We Need More Infrastructure and Affordable Housing … But Do We Trust THESE Jokers? By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:19 pm Trust government?  Trust the Democrats?  This is written by a certified Los Angeles liberal: “Affordable housing? Great idea–do we trust Sacramento and L.A. to do it right? Have they gotten it right so far? Are there new faces or policies to prove the cynics wrong? Ditto for public education and transportation–paying twice, thrice, and yet […] Read More and Comment: Yes, We Need More Infrastructure and Affordable Housing … But Do We Trust THESE Jokers?   L.A. BOND Fraud: Parking Lots NOT Housing for Homeless by Crony Capitalists By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:14 pm This is why you NEVER vote for a tax increase or a bond.  On the November 6 ballot you have local and State bonds for the homeless and affordable housing, plus stealing money from the mentally ill, for “housing”.  This should remind you as to why government can not be trusted. “The original list was […] Read More and Comment: L.A. BOND Fraud: Parking Lots NOT Housing for Homeless by Crony Capitalists   UC Health Care Workers: Our Jobs Are GUARANTEED—No One Else Can Have Them By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:11 pm Government workers think they are entitled and guaranteed a job.  That is, even if better quality, at a lower cost could be had by using private workers to do a job.  For instance, you really have to be a government employee to mow the lawn at UCLA, or to handle the administration of a hospital […] Read More and Comment: UC Health Care Workers: Our Jobs Are GUARANTEED—No One Else Can Have Them   At least $4 billion in questionable Medi-Cal payments By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:05 pm No one has questioned Jerry Brown about his incompetence as an Administrator.  We know about the DMV problems.  We know that the voting rolls have tens of thousands of illegal aliens and voters—and Brown refuses to demand honest elections.  Add to that the 3500 CalTrans employees that are not needed, the unfunded liabilities of the […] Read More and Comment: At least $4 billion in questionable Medi-Cal payments   A Green Light for Waymo’s Driverless Testing in California By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 09:02 pm The Bay Area is going to see cars, approved by the State, driving the communities, without a driver behind the wheel. “Fully driverless testing is the latest step in the path Waymo has been on since 2009, when we first began working on self-driving technology at Google. Since then we’ve driven over ten million autonomous […] Read More and Comment: A Green Light for Waymo’s Driverless Testing in California   San Fran Housing Authority to get $10 million bailout from HUD; blames $30 million shortfall on unqualified employees By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 08:58 pm San Fran is a fiscally illiterate city—has a massive housing shortage, then abuses the money meant for the poor and homeless.  Instead of taking responsibility, those in charge blame the ill equipped workers, instead of policies that have cost the city $30 million—forcing the taxpayers of the U.S. to bail out this incompetent, Socialist city. […] Read More and Comment: San Fran Housing Authority to get $10 million bailout from HUD; blames $30 million shortfall on unqualified employees   San Fran leaders hate Trump enough they voted to limit the city’s water rather than do this By Stephen Frank on Oct 31, 2018 08:53 pm How much do the “leaders” of San Fran hate President Trump?  They voted to get rid of much needed water because Trump supported them having the water.  That is not a joke, it is serious—this is a city that will shortly be without needed water, just to prove it hates everything Trump stands for. “In […] Read More and Comment: San Fran leaders hate Trump enough they voted to limit the city’s water rather than do this   The California Political News and Views would like tips, suggestions and advance information of local and state government action and legislation.
