By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2019 08:37 pm
Serious, when has government ever been honest?  They lied to us about the effects of Prop. 14.  They refuse to enforce Prop. 13 without court orders and lawsuits.  Marijuana is run by the State, though the ballot measure said cities have the right to control it.  Now what about storm water in Los Angeles? “The […]

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2019 08:16 pm
Did you really think the State of California would abide by the law and the ballot measures that pass?  We already know they lied about Prop. 1A—the choo choo to nowhere, they lied about enforcing Prop. 13, so why not lie about marijuana? “The city of Sonora, in central California, plans to file suit against […]

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2019 08:07 pm
Take away the costs of lawyers, lobbyists, lawsuits, numerous public and private hearings—take away the “freebies” demanded by government and the high cost of taxes and permits, plus the months and years for a project to be approved, what is the real cost of affordable or even market priced housing.

Walters: We pay through the nose to live in California

California is costly.  Note your friends, family members and co-workers forced to leave the State due to housing costs, taxes, bad roads and worse schools.  Feel free in California?  You must be smoking funny cigarettes. “Gov.
