By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 09:20 pm
California has a law against elder abuse.  In the case reported below, it used $25 million in tax dollars to harass and abuse an elderly gentle.  The crime?  The man involved MOVED to another State and the Franchise Tax Board decided to tax his income anyway!  Corruption, in your name. “The $25 million in costs […]

Eber: Send in the Clowns

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 09:15 pm
If we are going to solve our problems the first step is to admit them.  Addicts have to do this, so should people who want to set public policy.  Admit you have issues and address them.  This article does both. Importantly what your input on what needs to be done to make Republicans in California […]

Goleta Sues Developer over ‘Affordable’ Housing

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 09:12 pm
Why is affordable housing so expensive—regulations and lawsuits by cities and blackmail by unions?  In Goleta they have a major shortage of housing, yet five years after approval to build 175 units are NOT on the market.  Stop complaining about a housing shortage when government stops 175 housing units to be used. “The City of […]

For many public offices, November 12 filing opens, then closes on December 6.  Run for Assembly, Congress, State Senate, many cities for school board and city council.  Little mentioned are the 2300 Special Districts throughout the State.  In many cases those are little contested and sometimes not enough people file to run for the office.

Exclusive: Amazon rolls out machines that pack orders and replace jobs

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 09:07 pm
Graduates of LAUSD need not apply to Amazon for good jobs.  There will still be enough menial jobs for the 52% of 2017 LAUSD diploma given former students—who received a diploma for earning a “D” average, functionally illiterate.  Amazon is swiftly moving from labor intensive work, to computer and robot intensive work. “The company started […]

Weakling or bully? The battle over CEQA, the state’s iconic environmental law

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 09:03 pm
CEQA is a government regulation that allows for unions and special interests to blackmail property owners and developers.  Either do as we say or we will hold you up in court till your grand kids have grand kids.  Why are California homes and commercial property so expensive—blackmail authorized by CEQA. “Conversely, attorney Jennifer Hernandez with […]

Post-Legalization, Marijuana Smuggling Explodes at LAX

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 08:59 pm
As I said before, the real reason we legalized marijuana was not because the public wanted it—but because the drug cartel needed it to promote their product.  Once legalized, there would but no arrest for users and small time sellers would be free to work from the streets.  They need the legalization to take pot […]

Will $1 Billion Spending on California’s Homeless Fix the Problem?

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 08:56 pm
Government is predictable.  The more you spend on a “problem”, the bigger the problem gets.  Just look at the environmental issues.  The more government spends on studies and reports, the bigger the problem.  The phony report from USC earlier this year claiming, this is not a joke, that POLLUTION CAUSES TEENAGE OBESITY.  No, not eating […]

North San Jose: Elected leaders advance plan to build private housing

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 08:53 pm
Housing is a major issue in California, thanks to government policy.  For years it has been argued that regulations, taxes and unions are the cause of the high prices—so government has decided to go into the affordable housing business, with billions in tax dollars and bonds.  Now, in Sam Jose, it has been proven that […]

More teacher housing projects in the works

By Stephen Frank on May 15, 2019 08:48 pm
For years I have been saying that California is using policy to make sure we consist of the very rich, the very poor and the illegal aliens.  Now we can add, government employees.  The Democrats want open borders, they want high taxes and now are going to use tax dollars and education money to build […]
