Grand Jury sees $1 billion shortfall in Marin public pensions

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:57 pm
The richest county in California, Marin, could go belly up thanks to the collapse of the pension system.  It took the Grand Jury—not the Board of Supervisors—to tell the truth about the collapse of the pension system.  Why haven’t the elected officials done something?  Why aren’t they demanding reforms?  At what point did they fail […]

Is the Fight Over Tobacco Tax Money About Helping Patients or Helping Doctors?

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:54 pm
When we passed the $2 a pack tobacco tax last Fall, we were told the money was going to health care.  Now we find out the social justice radicals are laying claim to the money and the health care folks have to fight for the money.  This is another reason to vote NO on taxes […]

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:52 pm
Will the $52 billion tax increase passed by the legislative Democrat and one Republican, Senator Anthony Cannella for roads—and as we found out—“social justice projects”.  Yes, 30% of the money meant for roads is going for non transportation needs—plus part of the money will be spent on the choo choo scam.  But, Californians are not […]

Illegal Aliens Want ICE to Ignore Federal laws—Like They Have

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:49 pm
The law is simple—under Federal law if you are here illegally, regardless of the excuse, you are to be deported.  The only question is, “do you have documents that allow you in this country?  If not, no excuses.  But, now the law breakers are demanding that America NOT enforce our immigration laws—sham Rueda was taken […]

Georgia Tells Able-Bodied Food Stamp Recipients to Work for ‘Greater Good’

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:47 pm
Should able bodied people just live off the government or should they “pay” with labor for the benefits they get?  Years ago in Wisconsin, Gov. Tommy Thompson put such a plan in action—and after a while those on welfare dropped by half.  Now, Georgia is testing the same problem—and in the affected counties—more than half […]

ObamaCare Causes MORE ER Visits Than Before for Medi-Cal Patients

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:45 pm
Obama lied, people died and the economy has gone to hell.  Worse, health care is worse, though spending more.  We were told pass ObamaCare and the number of visits to the ER will go down.  Not true in California—just the reverse. “Emergency room visits by people on Medi-Cal rose 75 percent over five years, from […]

Prison unions punish California taxpayers

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:41 pm
Want to waste money?  Pay your taxes so union folks in prisons get more money, as vicious criminals are released—fewer criminals in prison, higher costs and more guards.  What is wrong with this picture? “That example comes from a new report by the Vera Institute for Justice. “(D)espite a decline in both its prison population and […]

EXCLUSIVE: Soros-Funded Activist Deceives CA Lawmakers

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:39 pm
Gee, another Soros radical has decided the truth does not work—so why not lie to the Legislature.  And, the Democrats in the legislature love and support fake news, and probably have no problem with lies from the Left. ““Regardless of how you feel about the legislation, we are disturbed, and every legislator should be disturbed, […]

Changing Brokerage Signage One of Many Decision Points in Response to State Street Vacancies

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:37 pm
If a vacant store in Santa Barbara does not have a “For lease” sign in the window, does it make the store occupied?  Or just a missed opportunity to advertise to rent the store.  The Leftists in Santa Barbara have turned State Street—the main street n town, into a vacancy haven—lots of empty stores.  They […]

By Stephen Frank on Jun 12, 2017 08:34 pm
