By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2020 08:21 pm
Socialism is in the air in Sacramento.  Last year a bill passed to allow ten cities, as a pilot program, create city owned banks.  In otherwise, use tax dollars and the tax payers to be in competition with government banks.  Sacramento has passed rent control legislation, to have government control housing.  Just in one year […]

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2020 08:18 pm
In Sacramento nothing is ever killed.  It comes back in a different form, like a fungus.  Last year SB 50 was killed, but given reconsideration.  This year it came back and the Senate President Toni Atkins did not allow the Senate Committee to kill it.  Instead she took it from the Committee and sent directly […]

Racism is Everywhere: Because L.A. Gives FEW Pot Licenses to People of Color

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2020 08:11 pm
You just can not make this up.  Drugs have harmed communities of color.  Pot, cocaine, heroin.  Yet some are complaining that blacks and Hispanics are not allowed to get permits to sell marijuana in many California cities.  Yet Progressives want more drugs in our communities—as long as people of color can sell it. “The news […]

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2020 08:08 pm
An opponent of the 1978 Prop. 13—and voted against it that year—is now the County Assessor in Santa Clara County and opposes the proposed split roll tax.  Shocking he likes the idea of the split role.  But as an Assessor he sees nothing but trouble in implementing it.  In fact, he does not think it […]

A car-free Valencia Street? In San Fran? It could happen.

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2020 08:02 pm
San Fran has taken the cars off of Market Street.  They have had a temporary moratorium on cars on parts of Valencia Street—another mains thoroughfare in this Toilet Bowl City.  What type of people can live in a city without cars?  Not families with kids.  Not small business people trying to deliver pizza or car […]

By Stephen Frank on Feb 04, 2020 07:56 pm
It is not bait and switch.  Taking money from all drivers and using it to benefit the rich and famous—those who a few bucks mean nothing, this is theft..  They get faster moving toll roads—the rest of us who pay taxes switched, taking tax money meant for roads and streets.  No, it is theft.  The […]
