New Laws In California and Our First Rostra Prediction Game of 2013
It’s a time-honored New Year’s tradition to review all the new laws taking effect starting on January 1. So I thought I’d get a look at new laws affected Rostrafarians in California. I nearly choked on my breakfast when I looked at the number. There are 837 new laws taking effect as of today. Seriously? Our state was so far askew we needed over 800 pieces of legislation passed to patch us up? Holy moly.
Valley News: Jeff Stone defeats Joel Anderson
Tuesday night the Valley News in Riverside erroneously reported that County Supervisor Jeff Stone defeated Assemblyman Joel Anderson for the 36th Senate District seat, apparently because the reporter was only looking at the Riverside portion of the results.
A new story has since been posted, without a trace of the incorrect report or a correction.
Here is the first part of the story that was…and wasn’t…and now never existed:
Supervisor Stone declared winner in 36th Senate race
Tuesday, June 8th, 2010
Issue 23, Volume 14
Early this week a mailer from the Joel Anderson for State Senate campaign came out and used a public quote from an on air interview in which radio talk show host Roger Hedgecock said of Anderson “Joel Anderson is the greatest freshman Republican from San Diego, ever”.
Anderson never claimed an endorsement, most politicos know that Hedgecock rarely endorses, but the Stone campaign today decided to try to create something out of nothing and succeeded in informing everyone that Joel Anderson is the greatest freshman Republican from San Diego, ever. Good job.
Jeff Stone Ignores Race for Humanity Issues
As a follow-up to Marion Ashley’s guest commentary, I am happy that the Riverside chairman of the Board of Supervisors is so passionate about helping organizations in the community. I hope he will become a better advocate of taxpayer funds and ask his colleague Jeff Stone some tough questions.
What Supervisor Ashley does not seem to understand is that this is not a knock against the goal of raising funds for the worthwhile organizations that Race for Humanity (RFH) has supported, it is about the obvious conflict of interest, ethical issues and the fact that without all the taxpayer funds from the county, the RFH would be a complete failure.
Stone’s Pattern of Abuse Should Disqualify Him in Minds of Voters
The following appears on the FlashReport today:
by Scott Barnett
It should come as no surprise to the readers of this website that occasionally in politics, a politician will say one thing and do another.
But never in my career have I seen such a blatant display of hypocrisy than I have after observing Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone’s campaign for the 36th State Senate District over the last week.
After spending weeks attacking his opponent, Assemblyman Joel Anderson, for a “pattern of ethical abuse” Stone himself has engaged in a series of ethical violations. He seems to think that the rules do not apply to him, just everyone else.
Clearing the air about the Race for Humanity
Guest Column
by Supervisor Marion Ashley
Chairman, Riverside County Board of Supervisors
A great deal of misinformation has been passed around on this website regarding Riverside County’s “Race for Humanity” program. On behalf of the members of the Board of Supervisors I want to set the record straight.
To start I must point out that the Race for Humanity receives full approval from our Board annually. As a matter of policy, all community improvement fund allocations must receive a vote of approval from 4 out of 5 County Supervisors. We are scrupulously careful with the taxpayers’ money.

Cap Weekly: AD 77 and SD 36 among “primary contests to watch on Election Day”
Yes, we already knew that.
But, here is the story from Capitol Weekly.
Most importantly, here are the pertinent sections related to the San Diego area contests…
AD 77 – This seat came open two years early when Assemblyman Joel Anderson, R-La Mesa, decided to mount a bid for state Senate. Another three–way race, this one includes El Cajon City Councilman Bill Wells; Brian Jones, a Santee City Councilman; and Christine Rubin, a former staffer for Senator Mark Wyland, R-Escondido. Wells appears to have the most endorsements, including the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, though Rubin is well-connected and boasts the support of several sitting GOP legislators. Jones has some local support, but may have made some enemies in 2008 when he attempted to take on local Rep. Duncan Hunter in his own primary; he lost by 56 points.

Jeff Stone’s Race for Humanity – Part Two
Following up on my last post, it looks like there may be much more to the whole “Third District Supervisor Jeff Stone’s Race for Humanity” story than meets the eye.
The organization was launched in 2006 as a non-profit corporation according to their filings with the Secretary of State. It appears that the organization received over $100,000 in taxpayer funds from Supervisor Jeff Stone’s slush fund in 2006 that may not have been reported to the IRS. A review of the Race for Humanity 990s reveals that the apparent first tax return was filed for FY 2007 which covered the time period of 07/01/07 thru 06/30/08. This would mean that over $100,000 of taxpayer funds and whatever private donations were received prior to July 1, 2007 may be unaccounted for and not properly reported to the IRS.
Stone Gets Slater-Price Support in SD 36

Chairwoman of San Diego County Board of Supervisors Endorses Jeff Stone for State Senate
Majority of County Supervisors support Stone’s bid for Senate
SAN DIEGO, CA – San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price has thrown her support behind conservative Republican Jeff Stone for State Senate joining the majority of other San Diego County Supervisors who are already part of Stone’s campaign team.
“The State Legislature’s spending is out of control,” said Supervisor Slater-Price.
Jeff Stone takes “Slush Funding” to a New Level
Just when we thought the San Diego County Board of Supervisors was as blatant as it could get in spreading their “discretionary” taxpayer monies (slush funds, to be exact) around the community as a way to promote their names and curry favor, then we take a look next door.
Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone has taken the use of taxpayer slush funds to benefit his name to a new level. San Diego County Supervisors can’t even begin to hold a candle to him.

SAN DIEGO – Adding to Assemblyman Joel Anderson’s surge in momentum since declaring his candidacy for the seat currently held by Senator Dennis Hollingsworth, San Diego Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher (R-San Diego) announced he was endorsing Anderson for State Senate.
“I support Joel Anderson for State Senate because he’s a rock-solid conservative that gets things done in Sacramento,” Fletcher said. “Additionally, as a veteran, I support Joel because he has been a fierce advocate for California’s military heroes. He led the charge to exempt California Veterans from state income taxes and to recognize their sacrifice by giving them free access to our state parks.”

Each candidate’s conservative credentials were highly scrutinized by the delegates and hundreds of attendees. After a thorough review, consisting of tough questions about immigration and taxes fielded by each candidate, the delegates made their conservative choice.
