San Diego Government Officials Lies—Again—About Tax Measure-Caught

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:29 pm
Maybe it is something in the air or water.  It could be its closeness to Mexico, a chaotic and corrupt country.  Whatever the cause, government officials do not know or want to tell the truth about  tax measures put before the people.  In 2004 SANDAG lied about the use of billions in bonds for infrastructure—only […]

Eber: The Bullet Train should not be grounded

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:25 pm
How do Democrats and unions (sorry to be redundant) get folks to vote yes on a $10 billion bond?  They lie.  Prop. 1A, the High Speed Rail bond is a great example.  Arnold the Dems doubled the potential riders, by ¾ lowered the cost of the project—and used fiction to tell us the route of […]

Stein: Governor Newsom doubling down to dismantle the California economy

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:20 pm
Newsom signed AB 5, to kill hundreds of thousands of jobs for working Californians.  He is taking water away from farmers, so there will be less food, and more expensive food.  Billions are spent on homelessness—and the problem grows.  Under his watch electricity is not a stable commodity—forcing business owners to reconsider staying in California—and […]

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:16 pm
Charter schools, in general, have shown to provide a higher quality education and especially helps children of color and in poverty to qualify for college—and a better life.  The scam artists running government education are upset—money spent on charter schools and quality education is not spent on unions and failed education, LAUSD is a great […]

CLIMATE CHANGE AND BACKDOOR SOCIALISM

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:14 pm
The Obama approved Paris Climate Accords would have transferred $3 trillion from the U.S. to the U.N. and totalitarian world governments.  It would bankrupt our nation and our families.  It was never about climate—it was about socialism.  The Green Dream is thirty times that much.  Just passing it would throw the U.S.—and the world—into a […]

Can you imagine a corporation that is unable to produce a checkbook, to show where the money went?  There are 49 States that can produce a checkbook—only California can not. “California State Controller Betty Yee admits to paying 49 million bills last year.

California travel firm tripling Dallas office with major downtown lease

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:04 pm
Yet another California is beginning it move out of the former Golden State.  It is a firm that can do its work anywhere.  Currently it is headquartered in Palo Alto, a really expensive place, and transportation is a disaster.  Instead of expanding in the city or Silicon Valley, it is taking 88,000 sq. ft. in […]

Despite All the Spending, Productivity Growth Is Skipping Schools

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 07:00 pm
In the past five years, Sacramento had added 50% to the amount spent on government schools.  Yet the recent audit proves there have been no positive results.  A previous audit showed that money spent for special education has been wasted and little ability to show where and how that money was spent. “As federal mandates […]

Simi Valley Pension Obligation Bonds – A Risky Financing Maneuver Without a Public Vote

By Stephen Frank on Dec 15, 2019 06:54 pm
I am so embarrassed to be a resident of Simi Valley.  Once a well run, fiscally responsible city.  It used to have reserves.  Now, it is almost out of reserves, about to run $5-10 million in deficits for as far as the eye can see.  But, without a vote of the people, the city council […]
