NEWS HEARD ON THE “Tom-Toms”–NEW FEATURE

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 08:51 pm
NEWS HEARD ON THE “Tom-Toms” My mentor and friend, the late Lorelei Kinder used to call me to tell me about information she “heard” on the Tom-Toms.  It was always interesting or important information, juts to connect the dots or explain the trend of political thought. Periodically, the California Political News and Views is going […]

Colman: BUSINESSES IN CALIFORNIA ARE UNDER ATTACK

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 08:16 pm
Government mandates are raising the cost of energy and water for businesses.  High tax rates add to the cost of doing business in California.  Anti-housing policies cause the cost of living and leasing a facility to do business raising the costs.  The proposal to raise property taxes—the sky is the limit—via a split roll tax […]

Golden Gate Bridge tolls set to rise

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 08:03 pm
I love visiting the Bay Area—especially San Fran.  But, I hate it when I am forced to pay a toll on a bridge.  We already paid for the roads and bridges—the Golden Gate Bridge retired its bonds years ago.  Now government wants the taxpayers and drivers to finance the repairs of the bridge—yet in L.A. […]

Developers Blame Environmental Law for California’s Housing Crisis?

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 08:00 pm
Housing shortage—cause by government.  Homelessness, mostly caused by government policies.  High cost of housing caused by government policies—a similar house built in Texas costs $500,000 LESS.  Then you have the mandate after 1/1/20, build a house and it has to have solar panels—that will add $50,000 to the cost of a housing, cost of panels […]

Energy regulation, climate change policy, is impacting local firms, LA County business leaders say

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 07:55 pm
Why did Parsons leave Pasadena for Virginia?  It was too expensive to live and work in California, especially the Los Angeles area.  Why has the middle class fled L.A.—itis the failed government schools, the crime that no longer is reported or prevented?  Could it be the high taxes or high cost of housing?  Maybe a […]

Millions spent by Taxpayers; So 80-140 people can go from Ventura County to Goleta—NOT A JOKE

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 07:51 pm
Tens of millions have been spent so 140 people can go from Ventura to Goleta every day—over 20,000 take the roads instead of the train.  Now, only 80 a day is using the train—a loss of 40%–and instead of ending this failure, government wants to double down—maybe 150 will use the system—how many have to […]

Phony Projections by Radicals Kill Jobs, Families, Hope

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 07:49 pm
Rachel Carson said that DDT, a pesticide would kill thousands in Africa.  DDT was outlawed and tens of millions of Africans died—of malaria, since the pesticide was not allowed to be used.  Was she a racist or ignorant—or both.  Paul Erhlich said the world would be in a famine by 2000—giving support to the murder […]

Ignoring $30B From Water Bonds and State Surplus, Gov. Gavin Newsom Wants New Water Tax

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 07:45 pm
Democrats can never have enough money to buy votes or to make families and businesses poorer.  In California Guv Brown stole water meant for farmers and food and gave it to fish—that could have be hatched in a farm.  The cost of food went up.  We had to import food from other States and nations.  […]

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 07:43 pm
These folks have done enough damage to the California workers, businesses and community that they now want to finish off what is left of New York City.  These white, female, very rich liberals now want to LOWER the take home pay of NYC waitresses.  Either that hate success or they are economic illiterates and should […]

California’s public school chief says education no place for competition

By Stephen Frank on Mar 24, 2019 07:40 pm
Congressman Tom McClintock likes to say what makes Ford great is General Motors.  Thanks to competition the cost of computers, cell phones and other electronic devices have gone down as quality goes up.  Only socialists hate the idea of competition.  To them there is only one way—the government way. ““Here’s my concern: you cannot open […]
