Parents Are Rethinking Education - And That's A Good Thing - Capitol Weekly

Capitol Weekly — Education in California is experiencing a once-in-a-generation transformation, as tens of thousands of parents make crucial decisions about how and where their children learn.

Progressive "Social Justice 'Reforms" rejected by voters all across California - California Globe

California Globe — Despite claims by the Los Angeles Times, evidence from the recent election shows that the “decarceration” and “defund/anti-police” movement was rejected by California voters all over the state – even in the most liberal communities in California. Some in the legacy media falsely portray this as a choice between enlightened “social justice” progressives and a bunch of Wyatt Earp cowboys. Nothing could be further from the truth.

America is binging on outrage

America is binging on outrage

insidesacramento.com — America is binging on outrage because liberals are arrogant elitists recklessly opening our borders and bankrupting the country, while conservatives are hateful bigots bent on destroying the environment and oppressing poor people. Neither statement is true, but both stereotypes feed the outrage addiction that has become the default narrative of public dialogue.

bizjournals.com — I recently watched a commercial where hunger made a person so angry they were unrecognizable, but all they had to do was eat a candy bar to assuage their hunger and return to their true self. Maybe America needs to eat a Snickers.

Sacramento Knows Best - adding to the housing crisis

Sacramento Knows Best - adding to the housing crisis

Grapevine Independent — Affordable housing is a real issue - some studies show that only 25% to 40% of Californians can afford to buy a home in their community. But this measure may make matters worse. Besides the specific shortfalls of AB 1426 - like increased bureaucracy and arbitrary numbers -- there are even more basic problems in the Capitol's patronizing attitude to local communities.

School Choice Can Save Children and Salvage our Education System - California Globe

School Choice Can Save Children and Salvage our Education System - California Globe

California Globe — "The group consisting of a mother, father, and child is the main educational agency of mankind," Martin Luther King, Jr. said. Yet for years our education system has tried its best to ignore parents and discourage involvement. That must change. Across the country and here in the Golden State, a revolution in education is taking place.

bizjournals.com — It should be unimaginable that the land of Apple, Tesla and a host of technology innovators has entered an era of blackouts. Again. Yes, it has happened before. Silicon Valley experienced "brownouts" in the 1980s and California endured rolling blackouts across the state in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Schools must better manage resources - Sacramento Business Journal

Schools must better manage resources - Sacramento Business Journal

bizjournals.com — At the individual level, education is the surest path out of the cycle of poverty, crime and dependence. On a macro scale it's a macabre fertilizer: Where schools fail, poverty grows. The solution isn't (just) more money for schools.

Monsters under the bridge - CA's looming pension crisis.

Flashreport.org — it's not the only budget busting pension issue: Sacramento County has nearly $950 Million in pension obligation bonds that have to be serviced from the General Fund - at the same time they're facing significant budget cuts. The scary thing is, Sacramento is not alone - all across California, bloated and under-funded (how did they manage to do both?) pensions have spawned a financial monster...

Should Sacramento Subsidize a New Arena for the Kings? | KQED

KQED — Should public money be spent to subsidize sports arenas? It's an old debate playing out in Sacramento. The City Council has approved a plan to build a new arena for the city's pro basketball team, the Kings, using a $258 million taxpayer subsidy. Will the investment pay off in jobs, economic development and civic pride?

Financing of Arena Needs a hard look

Sacramento Bee — Now that the kickoff pep rallies for a new arena are over, it's time to put away the pompoms and take a more sober look at the proposed arena financing deal, which is starting to show a few cracks.

tabletalkatlarrys.com — By Tab Berg - Any list of California’s most interesting restaurants has to include Al’s Place – locally known as Al the Wop’s – located along a Sacramento River levy road in the historic town of Locke, the original “china town.” Built in 1915, and operated by Al Adami since 1934, Al’s was the only non-Chinese business operating in the town of Locke. The town has dimmed over time, but Al’s remains an iconic place that’s a rite of passage for anyone interested in California history or traveling through the Delta.

FlashReport — The environment is one of the "big three" issues that are hurting GOP candidates - particularly here in California. And frankly, it's an issue that Republicans should be leading rather than ceding to extremists on the far left.

TEMPEST IN A TOILET / When art and politics collide / Promoting protest

San Francisco Chronical — let's get real -- this has nothing to do with "art" and everything to do with protest. By displaying the toilet at the DOJ headquarters, Lockyer gave Pearcy's political views the imprimatur of California's chief law enforcement agency.

bizjournals.com — Many people see politics as an unfathomable mess, a sort of alchemy in the 21st century. But a comparison of physical laws to politics will yield surprising results. It turns out that politics follows the same rules we learned about in high school physics.

The first law of political thermodynamics - Sacramento Business Journal

bizjournals.com — Physical science tells us that energy is never created or destroyed, it just changes form. Unharnessed, energy can be random, even meaningless. Uncontrolled, it can do a lot of damage. But if applied correctly, energy can accomplish great things -- like creating electricity that runs a hospital, for instance. The past few weeks offer a political example of this physical law.
