http://www.sacbee.com/2010/04/22/2696767/panel-to-consider-new-pay-cut.html#ixzz0lrFAGmRh I’d like to hear if you believe that our friends in Sacramento deserve what they are paid and why. As I see it, they can’t really balance a budget (They continue the old smoke and mirror approach-pushing the dreaded day of gloom to the future, thus creating even more of a crisis) and their best method to balance the …
Just more proof that Jerry Brown is just another of the well-off Democratic elite that likes to impose restrictions and costs on the rest of us (Since it will impact them very little)
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/apr/16/jerry-brown-oil-baron/ Just more proof that the Democrats are evil too. Read the article and you will see that Brown is two-faced, just like so many of the (Financially well off) Democratic elite that try to impose restrictions and higher costs on the poor since it really doesn’t impact them. Such as Al Gore, who preaches one thing and practices something …
Pay cut proposed for SDUSD Teachers and other staff. What about the bureaucrats?
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/jan/23/sd-teachers-asked-take-pay-reduction/ “Teachers and other San Diego school employees could take pay cuts next year of up to 8 percent to help offset a projected $93 million deficit, under a proposal presented to labor groups this week.” Let’s look at this proposal. First of all, I’d like to know if the district has already made fiscal changes to their Cadillac benefit …
San Diego Unified School District and administrative leave for bureaucrats
It was recently brought to my attention that the Director of Transportation for San Diego Unified School District, who had been on administrative leave for over 3 months while the District investigated charges against her, was recently terminated but after being paid a settlement not to sue the District. Okay, maybe I need to be slapped, but if the District …
County treasurer, assessor get raises
Why do I have a problem with this? 1) They knew what the salary was when we elected them 2) I don’t care what these other counties pay their elected officials. Apparently it’s too much, so why must we take the fiscal fall and do a fiscally stupid thing?? This is part of why we are in such a fiscal …
A 1966 Prophecy by Ezra Taft Benson coming true??
First of all, a disclaimer. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. This email has been going around recently and I thought I’d present it to you for a read. You can read the whole book at: http://awatchtower.blogspot.com/2009/02/enemy-hath-done-this-forward.html My Church membership has been labeled as conservative, but I beg to differ. There are lots …
My solution: How to lower healthcare costs
First of all, the government pays the education for all medical professionals. Just think! Lower costs because the professional doesn’t have to pass their student loan payment to the consumer! The government pays the insurance premium for all healthcare professionals. Just think, lower costs due to the fact that the professional doesn’t have to pass their insurance costs to the …
Deport legal residents while illegal residents spend time in our jails
Once again, our justice system amazes me. In regards to the “runaway” balloon parents in Colorado ( UT, Saturday, Nov 14, “Parents involved in balloon hoax…”), our justice system was willing to deport the mother back to Japan (She is a legal resident of our country), however, our prisons have thousands and thousands of CONVICTED felons that are here Illegally, …
Lawmaker pay cuts legal, commission boss insists
http://www.sacbee.com/static/weblogs/capitolalertlatest/026853.html http://www.sacbee.com/capitolandcalifornia/story/2309392.html I’m in utter amazement reading that there are elected officials (“Legislature’s top administrators”) in Sacramento that are protesting the 18% pay and benefit cuts that have been proposed by the California Citizens Compensation Commission. First off all, if these elected officials can’t handle this cut, then resign or don’t run for reelection. No one is forcing you to …
Pay cut for high level government bureaucrats? Yes and it is happening!
http://www.bakersfield.com/news/local/x1985012075/Government-roundup-Pay-cuts-for-KHSD-superintendents-on-tap “The KHSD Board of Trustees is scheduled to meet in closed session with labor negotiators Monday to discuss compensation reductions for each member of the district superintendency for 2010-2011.” So why not in San Diego? Also, take away their car allowances. When you make as much money as some of these bureaucrats, why is there a need for a …
Since we’re talking about the Board of Supervisors, let’s talk about the benefit package for many elected officials.
A few years ago, a friend was getting ready to make a run for the Poway City Council. He started to tell me about the benefits of holding office, and as a small business owner, trying to scrape by, I saw one of his needs to want to run for office was for the benefits. On a side note, maybe …
Betty Rexford and former Congressman Cunningham. They both did good, but their shame brought them down.
This morning I received an email from a supporter (Yes, they still exist, and I was one up until several weeks ago. What convinced me to join the recall effort was the email between Betty and the City Manager) of Betty Rexford. The email wanted people to recall all of the good that Betty has done for Poway. Well, yes, …
Ah San Diego Unified. The school district that claims it will have a $100 million deficit, but still can justify the need to send their bureaucrats all over the nation for various conferences.
Ah San Diego Unified. The school district that claims it will have a $100 million deficit, but still can justify the need to send their bureaucrats all over the nation for various conferences. If the district really cared about the deficit, they would say “no more free ride” to these conferences. If these bureaucrats want to attend, let them-give them …
A REAL solution to Sacramento’s never-ending budget mess
The current and ongoing (Hopefully not forever) budget fiasco in Sacramento can give the Republican leadership (If it is still the party of fiscal conservatism, which lately, I’ve come to doubt) a chance to shine as the party that actual walks the talk regarding fiscal leadership and responsibility. Instead of just talking, the party must start seriously writing a measure …
Water conservation, alternative energy and government agencies.
Don’t you like how government likes to impose restrictions on business and residential users, but they rarely go out and change their landscaping or retro fits their government restrooms? On another note, I’m a stronger supporter of alternative energy; however, my household income isn’t enough to qualify for the incentives and rebates for, for examples, solar panels (and cars). Now …
Once again San Diego Unified School District is predicting $100 million deficit. Possible solutions.
Here are some very simple ways that they can save money and get more in line with other school districts in the county. 4th and 5th graders go to Old Town and Balboa Park for a week. They learn about old California and about the museums. Yes, they are great programs, but why is SDUSD the only district in the …
Term limits for the Board of Supervisors and NOT for SEIU?
Many of you might have heard that SEIU, the union that represents most of the County workers, has decided that there should be term limits for the County Board of Supervisors. I find that to be very amusing since SEIU doesn’t believe in term limits for their own elected officers. So, apparently, if you are an elected official and won’t …
3 different fire agencies for Julian?
We’re hearing about the merging of fire protection districts, but let’s focus on Julian, which has no plans to merge any of their THREE, yes, THREE fire agencies. You have the Julian/Cuyamaca Volunteer FD, which has a chief, and you have the CalFire station that has two, yes, TWO chiefs, One Cal Fire and one from the County’s fire authority …
