By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:48 pm
Guv Brown gave fish the water needed for farmers.  The Cal-EPA has so limited the pesticides allowed to be used, crops are no longer being grown.   The fastest growing crop is not row or tree crops, it is solar farms.    This is the area the High Speed Rail wants to tear apart—it has already created […]

Kline: The case for public-private mass transit

By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:45 pm
We all know that billions in tax dollars are being used to subsidize unions and crony capitalists.  We also know that ridership is down everywhere in the nation—but spending plans are up.  While losing money on government transportation the roads, streets and bridges are crumbling.  The choo choo to nowhere is a great example.  Here […]

Corruption. Unions. LAUSD. Just being redundant.

By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:40 pm
“The Yes on EE campaign website tells us the measure “will lower class sizes and help our neighborhood schools retain and attract quality teachers, counselors, school nurses, librarians, support staff and principals.” What it doesn’t tell us is whether the funding is meant to cover the spending already agreed to in L.A. Unified’s recent employee […]

License Plate Readers Coming to Downtown Fullerton Spark Immigrant Concerns

By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:32 pm
Last week I spoke at UCLA to the Bruin College Republicans—a great group.  I parked in parking Lot 2—visitor parking.  When I paid for the parking I noticed a sign that said they use “License Plate Readers”.  Based on the Fullerton concern, I should have felt “triggered” and be afraid to park at UCLA.  “That […]

New South Bay Rapid Bus Is Falling Far Short of Ridership Expectations

By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:26 pm
Government is filled with economic illiterates, poor managers and folks that help the special interest not the public.  For instance bus and train riding has been declining for years around the State and in San Diego.  Ridership is down, costs are up.  What do you do?  Do you cut back to meet the need or […]

By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:21 pm
Oakland is broke.  Its schools are broke.  It is one of the ten most dangerous cities in the nation.  The Mayor notifies criminals before a raid—so they can go back into the shadows.  Of course this city is ill managed and corrupt.  A few years ago they could not pay the bills—so they fired almost […]

By Stephen Frank on May 10, 2019 09:13 pm
Imagine thousands of new jobs, lower gas prices, billions in more tax revenues—without raising taxes.  That is what President Trump wants to do.  California Democrats prefer high gas prices, more taxes and lots more low paying jobs. “The Trump administration moved forward Thursday with its plan to open up federal land in California’s Central Valley […]
