By Stephen Frank on Feb 12, 2019 09:02 pm
This is a miracle.  This is a $200 billion miracle for the people of California.  Guv Newson will now only spend about $100 billion on a train from Merced to Bakersfield—that no one will ride, with money that does not exist, for an environment lawsuit that could last till the end of this century. (Merced […]

Colman: TAXES AND HOUSING BEDEVIL CALIFORNIA

By Stephen Frank on Feb 12, 2019 08:59 pm
High taxes and bad regulations cause high prices for housing.  High housing prices force the middle class out of the State, while the rich leave to save tax dollars.  That means the productive people are leaving—leaving behind the ultra rich, the poor and the illegal aliens.  Again, this harms revenues and real job creation. “ Former […]

What delaying a big rate increase cost CalSTRS

By Stephen Frank on Feb 12, 2019 08:51 pm
Any day now CalSTRS is going to increase its mandated contributions.  Districts already near bankruptcy will go over the edge.  Teachers that thought they were getting a pay raise will see a lot of that money going to the collapsing CalSTRS system instead.  Parents will note the cutbacks in equipment and maintenance at the schools—forcing […]

Newsom Addresses Migrant Shelter Dilemma in San Diego–by DEMANDING More Illegal aliens in California

By Stephen Frank on Feb 12, 2019 08:45 pm
Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite.  On one hand he wants open borders—which causes crime, drugs, crowded schools and hospitals, takes jobs from Americans.  On the other hand he is willing to spend the tax dollars of honest Californians to promote illegal aliens coming into this State.  Tuition assistance for college, free education, housing provided and […]

Pure water project.  What a joke, this is a scam by unions and corporations to make money at the expense of the families of San Diego.  This could be the straw that broke the camels back.  San Diego already has one of the highest costs of water in the nation.  At what point do housing […]

The L.A. teacher strike may be over, but observers warn there’s no ‘clear path forward’ for how the school district can afford its new contract

By Stephen Frank on Feb 12, 2019 08:38 pm
LAUSD is both economically, financially and educationally bankrupt.  Yet, the State is allowing it to continue while the kids are barely receiving an education. “To shoulder about $840 million in added costs through 2021, district officials say they’re largely relying on more state funding and a 2020 California tax referendum — neither of which are […]

By Stephen Frank on Feb 12, 2019 08:35 pm
The Bee in California—Modesto, Fresno and Sacramento have all had major cutbacks and firings.  That does not mean the CEO should be penalized. “In 2017,  Forman’s take-home pay from McClatchy was $1.7 million, excluding restricted stock.
