HEARD ON THE TOM/TOMS

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:46 pm
Periodically the California Political News and Views will publish tidbits of political news, to keep you in the loop of what the pooh bahs know.  The phrase “tom/tom’s” comes from my mentor, Lorelei Kinder who never passed a rumor, just called to tell me what she heard on the “tom/tom’s”.  This column is named in […]

Blue State Blues: Republicans Cannot Win If ‘Ballot Harvesting’ Remains Legal

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:38 pm
This is what Republicans and the people of California are facing.  In fact, it is worse.  As my HEARD ON THE TOM/TOMS column today notes, GOP Leadership is complaining about the problem—and that is all. “Unfortunately, the tactic of “ballot harvesting,” introduced last November, has made it impossible for Republicans ever to win again.  “Ballot […]

SB 55 by Sen. Hannah Jackson: Bill to Use Cops to Protect Criminals From Their Victims

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:33 pm
Here is a great idea.  If you do not like someone, get them into a public shouting match with you.  Then go to the police and claim the person is dangerous and show your phone video to “prove it”.  Then have the police, steal his guns.  Then at night invade his home, knowing he can […]

California Air Resources Board Institutes “Voluntary” Tax on Restaurants—NO Legislative Body Approved Taxation!

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:30 pm
Now, government agencies, appointed and hired, are taxing industries and businesses—claiming the tax is voluntary—but if you don’t do it, watch as the inspectors hound your business to the ground.  Where does the money go?  Why not make it a legal tax?  Once we get this tax on your bill, see other agencies of government […]

Build Up, Not Out: California Housing Bill Sparks Power Struggle

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:29 pm
If a city, like Simi Valley or Los Angeles wanted to change its zoning rules and allow taller building that is no problem.  If the people of those communities want to keep the cultural of their community they can do so.  But, SB 50 takes away the rights of your community and gives unelected, faceless […]

Cost of Fish Dinner: California spends $178 million per fish to bring back salmon

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:26 pm
We know the cost of housing is high in California.  We have the highest taxes, energy prices, water prices, in the nation.  Now, you can have the most expensive fish dinner in the history of mankind, thanks to the policies of Jerry Brown and the Democrats. “In 2006, a Settlement is reached and by 2009, […]

California Activists Push for Forcing Insurance Companies to Disclose Fossil Fuel

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:23 pm
The Left is paranoid.  Now it wants to use government to force insurance companies to tell them which oil companies they insure.  You can bet that included in that demand is for how much, copies of the contracts and at the end of the game—want government to LIMIT insurance coverage for oil companies.  The goal—to […]

Unions/Special Interests Use Little Kids to Scam Public/Taxpayers

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:19 pm
The biggest scam in the California Bond industry is NOT the phony water bonds—used to end the use of public water, not expand it, is the use of kids for school bonds.  As an example, the State is spending money to expand kindergarten for the poor—when that is already accomplished.  Instead, using the kids gives […]

California’s newest college will blend online and face-to-face job training

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:13 pm
Finally, someone is Sacramento found out about a new technological advance—something Al Gore calls the Internet.  Instead of spending hundreds of millions on brick and mortar buildings, instead of taking land off the property tax rolls, Sacramento has created an online college!   Maybe the next step is turning campus libraries into dorms—since the Internet has […]

By Stephen Frank on Apr 28, 2019 08:08 pm
SANDAG is the San Diego version of Tammany Hall and Chicago run by the Daley family.  It is corrupt, expensive and dangerous.  SANDAG in 2004 lied about the use of “needed” bond money, claiming it would be spent a specified projects.  In 2016 SANDAG asked for another bond—to pay for the projects it claimed the […]
