LA is Considering 18 Weeks of Fully Paid Family Leave for New Parents

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 09:14 pm
Great news for Austin, Texas, Phoenix, Arizona and other free places in the nation.  The Mayor of Los Angeles has decided to stop new firms from opening in his city—and to force those firms with risky financials, to close shop and move to another State.  And, since it is so expensive, Garcetti wants the STATE […]

Sacramento’s Software Incompetence in the Software Capital of the World

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 09:11 pm
You would think the software used by California government would be the leading edge, worldwide.  We are the home of innovation, start ups, new technology.  Yet, Sacramento appears to be a Third World system when it comes to software to run the government. “At first glance, it’s not that bad. Of the 23 projects evaluated, […]

Is Mexico California’s ‘Great Neighbor?’

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 09:06 pm
Does anyone think the Socialist totalitarian government of Mexico really have goodwill toward the United States?  This is a nation that has for over 70 years been run as an ATM for totalitarians. “Puzzled Californians might note that Lopez Obrador’s Morena party, the National Regeneration Movement, has long-standing ties with Venezuela and Cuba. As Andres Oppenheimer explains […]

Google Employees Accused Coworker of Supporting ‘Hate Group’ by Donating to Christian Legal Fund!

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 09:04 pm
Google apparently has a policy—if you are a Faithful Christian, you are part of a hate group.  Donate to Christian groups and that proves you are an activist hater.  Try getting promotions or being a real colleague. “A Google whistleblower revealed that coworkers accused him of supporting a “hate group” over his donation to the […]

ELIAS: KEEP GOING AFTER DIALYSIS PATIENTS

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 09:00 pm
Be careful of the effort by Democrats and their new friends the insurance companies.  Last year the people voted against the union backed Prop. 8 to change the conditions of dialysis and paying for this life saving service. Now the Democrats are coming back with legislation to do what the voters opposed.  Corruption?  This is […]

Khamis: Keep the honesty in local bond measures

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 08:55 pm
Did anyone think government was honest?  San Jose City Councilman Johnny Khamis has more proof that government takes your money and refuses to obey the law.  The law broken?  The 2017 law that says bond measures have to tell people the true costs of the bond. “San Jose Evergreen Community College District’s 2016 Measure C […]

CA Files Suit Against Trump Administration Over Rollback of Federal Vehicle Emission Standards

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 08:52 pm
California political hacks based their policies and legislation on emotion and junk science.  Washington is not much better, but President Trump demands honesty from government scientists.  Hence, changes in the Obama regulations issued because he was rich and wanted everyone else to be poor. “This is interesting since I am aware of a CPA in […]

California Bill Would Make Fishing Licenses Valid For A Full Year After Purchase

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 08:50 pm
Finally a good idea from government.  When they sell a fishing license it should last for a year, not a few months.  Also note that in the past almost forty years, the issuance of fishing licenses have dropped by 55%.  Maybe the cost is too high.  Maybe they don’t last long enough—or maybe people just […]

Sacramento Attack on Statutes of Limitations Threatens Rule of Law Everywhere

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 08:47 pm
Just for the heck of it, California legislators have figured out a way to STOP Federal settlements. “However, AB 1510, among other things, states that any plaintiff who takes part in a federal settlement automatically will have their case revived if they are represented by an attorney not licensed in California. This unworkable stipulation is […]

Are in-law units the secret solution to the state’s housing shortage?

By Stephen Frank on Apr 08, 2019 08:41 pm
Housing shortage?  Affordable housing shortage?  We do not need a single dollar in bond money—or use tax dollars.  All we have to do is get government out of the way.  For instance, even Democrats admit, allow for granny flats—and you have added one million new housing units.  Not a dime in tax money needed, just […]
