By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:59 pm
The State of California has filed a FOI to find out the inner workings of ICE—the State wants to know the priorities of deportations, when, where, who is targeted and how the government chooses those to be deported.  I guess the really confused Guv Brown did not know that he could have any Congress member […]

By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:57 pm
Great news for attorneys, doctors, hospitals and investigators.  The City of Los Angeles is going to spend $2 million—money that is needed to fix the potholes, to create more bike lanes in the downtown area, make the streets less safe and to create more accidents.  Bike lanes are dangerous, plus they force cars to crawl […]

By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:55 pm
Teachers will be laid off—to pay for the pensions of the teachers still working.  Staring July 1 the cost of mandatory CalSTRS contributions by an average of 13%–and that does not solve the $200 billion unfunded liability.  Worse, the return on investments in 2015-16 was 1.4%–not the proclaimed 7.5%.  CalSTRS is in deep trouble, with […]

By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:53 pm
Democrats are working hard to squeeze the middle class out of California  If AB 1506 is passed, the cost of housing for the middle class goes up, while the poor get to pay significantly less for the same apartment.  The goal has always been to end private ownership of homes and make the people dependent […]

By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:50 pm
Why are families fleeing San Fran?  The high cost of housing.  In this case, even singles have a problem to afford living in a crap room in San Fran.  You would need an average income of $86,000 a year, as a single to afford an apartment one step from the slums.  That also means in […]

The Coming Clean-Air War Between Trump and California

By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:47 pm
AB 32 and its successor SB 32 are clearly the greatest effort to kill jobs and make living in California too expensive for the middle class.  Thanks to AB 32 the cost of doing business in California is high—meaning our firms are at a competitive disadvantage in the global economy.  The good news is that […]

Accused Student Sues UCSB in Assault Case–Civil Rights Violation?

By Stephen Frank on Mar 07, 2017 08:40 pm
UCSB treats students like dirt.  This is a school where if you are changed with a crime—and the person making the charges recants and admits they lied, the school will not care and continue a suspension, for no reason.  In the process UCSB is violating FEDERAL law.  This is a schools where the students have […]
