When Jerry Brown sounds like Donald Trump
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 09:01 pmAfter watching the Vladimir Putin imitator as Governor, I am getting to “like” Jerry Brown. He vetoed lots of bills that were unconstitutional. Newsom does not care—he signs them all. “Mayor Jerry Brown didn’t care about poor people. In a radio interview, Brown denounces government funding for housing and health care. His words were shocking, […]

Kirsch: California legislators should take a breath on housing ‘crisis.’ Looking at you, Scott Wiener
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:55 pmSB 50 is back. This is the bill that takes away the right of your city council to zone and permit. If the State, whoever that is, does not like the plan of the city, the State will take over—that, of course is a given. Then, if all goes well, the whole State will be […]

Access v. Abuse: Crema Coffee in San Jose closes due to ADA lawsuit
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:51 pmHow do you close down small business? You make rules that can not be financially followed. In this case the loser is a coffee shop in San Jose and their customers. The winners? Starbucks and other large chain, multi-billion operations. The Lawsuit Industry did this—and an attorney who used her ex-husband to file 200 ADA […]

Chico working to bring new sales tax to November ballot/Doesn’t Tell REAL Reason
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:49 pmGovernment lies. Sometimes by commission, other times by omission. In the case of Chico city government, it is by omission. The city wants a one cent sales tax increase, on the November ballot. They used tax dollars to pay for a survey. Not told those surveyed that most, if not all the money will go […]

Senate Republicans Introduce Bill to Help Independent Contractors who Provide Necessary Services to the Deaf
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:46 pmWhy did the Democrats go after the disabled population, specifically the deaf? AB 5 forces translators for the deaf that might only work a couple of hours a week—or for numerous individual clients or take referrals from health care agencies and doctors. If a Republican harmed the disabled and deaf as much as the Democrats […]

Listen up, candidates: Most teachers feel their voices aren’t being heard, new survey reveals
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:42 pmWe were told that unions speak for the members. At least in the ranks of forced unionized teachers, the union work against the interest of the teachers and students. In fact, their own union does not listen to them. Could that be why the union wants the teachers and the rest of us, to pay […]

Sonoma County population declines sharply since 2017 wildfires
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:40 pmThe census is coming. One reason for the census is the apportionment of legislators. It looks like Sonoma County—and maybe others in the area, are going to become part of larger districts. That means the leverage of Sonoma will be lessened. Will this change the politics of the area? Do not know. I do know […]

The Only Plan to End Homelessness
By Stephen Frank on Jan 29, 2020 08:36 pmDr. Drew Pinsky is not a politician. He is an interesting pundit on TV and radio, discusses the human condition and relationships (not how to get a date).
