Confused Jerry Brown Sued: To Stop STEALING $$ From War Vets

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 09:08 pm
This may be the sleaziest effort by a hack politician ever—including those of Barack Obama. In 2006 the California National Guard gave bonuses to have reservists re-enlist, to keep them in war zones and at the beck’on call of the Governor. Now Jerry Brown is demanding the money back from many of these folks that […]

UC Academic Senate rejects task force’s proposed retirement benefits plan

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 09:05 pm
Since the middle of the gubernatorial tern of Arnold, one dollar out of every three that comes from tuition increase goes to the UC system pension program, not education. A few years ago the systems had $21 billion unfunded liability—since then, they have been very quiet about the problems. But, it was so bad that […]

Teachers Stand Up for Curriculum Control

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 09:03 pm
The Leftist city of Santa Barbara has a revolt on its hand. Shockingly, the teachers in the government schools have had it with special interest groups, ideologues and hack politicians determining the curriculum. They want control of the curriculum—maybe they see the failure of Common Core and the pet rock fads of radicals, using the […]

Workers Comp and the End of the Dollar Menu

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 09:01 pm
Taxes, increased workers comp costs, pension costs, minimum wage policies and more, all add to the cost of a product being sold—and none of it has to do with the quality, size or real value of the item to be sold. If the minimum wage is increase, the taxes on the worker are increased, money […]

Why Water/Energy Costs So Much in L.A.: Security Guard “Earns” $197,000 in a Year

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 08:58 pm
Government pay is out of sight. While private security guards get paid minimum wage to $50,000 a year, do the same work for government and you can manipulate the system to get almost $200,000 a year. “The data reveals that Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) security officer David Laser more than tripled […]

Davis Hypocrites: Hate Trains Bringing Oil Thru Town/Drive Cars and Demand Low Prices for Fossil Fuel Using Cars

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 08:55 pm
Dozens of Davis residents drove their cars, and some rode their bikes.   They had attended a public hearing to oppose trains with oil to pass through their town. The irony, of course, is that these folks were mostly in cars that used fossil fuel—did they think about how the gas got to the filling station? […]

Pomona Students: campus safety tips are ‘rape culture’

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 08:52 pm
Did you know that all college campus have a disease? It is called a “rape culture”. These days rape is not only a physical act. Ask someone for a date, using the “wrong language” (whatever that is) and it could be considered rape. Just like talking about the “founding fathers” in San Diego could be […]

L.A. Needs 5,000 More Employees..Soon…Wants to Give MORE Time Off for having Babies

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 08:48 pm
The perception is that millenials want everything handed to them; they want high pay, low amount of work, and as much time off as possible. They want jobs they are not qualified for, benefits that would bankrupt the public. Plus, due to the high cost of wages, benefits and massive time off, the city will […]

San Diego pension-to-401(k) reform goes to court–Unions harming workers

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 08:46 pm
The city of San Diego was going bankrupt due to the out of control pensions system, the unfunded liabilities and increased cost just to keep the checks flowing. The people of San Diego vote by a 70-30 margin to change the system. Instead of a government run program, there would be a individualized 401 (k), […]

Bay Area Transit System—NOT Local Government to Determine Zoning and Density Standards—elected Officials No Longer Needed

By Stephen Frank on Feb 15, 2016 08:36 pm
In the 1970’s I met a lady from the San Fran Bay Area named “Billie” (I can not remember her last name. She was a one issue person—unelected people from ABAG (Association of Bay Area Governments) telling local communities how to zone, what and where to zone and mostly importantly how to make the Bay […]
