Ex-Gay Community Publisher Portantino Takes Own Life
Family and survivors should sue the DA's office. Best way to find out if this guy was being sandbagged and run out of business because he ticked off a few powerful people in town. ========================== I have news for you, the DA, DDA's and judges are 100% immune from prosecution in the courts for bad acts. Even if they committ felonies they still have almost complete immunity. You could try to sue-in federal court-and it would go nowhere fast, and your chances of winning would be about 100-1, if that.— January 2, 2011 3:32 p.m.

Detective "Vaguely" Recalls Threat against Kessler, Family
I just googled how to set up a bank account in one of those places, interesting stuff. I don't know if Liechtenstein is the best place anymore, they sound like they have revamped their banking laws, but Austria looks good, and certain banks in Switzerland (NOT USB!!!)— January 2, 2011 3:23 p.m.

Your true feelings finally comes-out. How does it feel? Man, who wronged you? That's the real question here? ====================== Finally comes out!!! Man, where have you been living?????? Under a rock?? I have been beating this drum for the last 5 years now, and virtually everything I was saying 5 years ago has come true (like CV would eventually go BK from over comping their public safety by so much). The poor and middle class need protection for public ssector unions hwo are daily trying to raise their taxes so the public unbions can take even more of a limited income pie. Sales tax is their most often go to tax, it has gone up more than 50% in the last 22 years-a direct correlation to the increase in public compensation. Collective bargiaining should not be allowed in the public sector-which are non competitive, non free market monopolies. There is no natural opposition to public unions to keep their scams in check.— January 2, 2011 3:15 p.m.

My retirement is significantly less than $80K per year and a far cry from SP's misinformation. ======================= errrrr......sure, we all believe you. I also bet you used to walk to 20 miles to school everyday as a child, in snow storms no less!— January 2, 2011 1:03 p.m.

http://www.chp.ca.gov/recruiting/psdpay.html http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Career_Opportunities/POR/P… ====================== LOL...you just posted to their pay scales (of a CHP DISPATCHER no less!), which has nothing to do with what I said-which was their pay scales were tied to the pay scales of superior court judges. Man, it is getting old spanking so hard in public like this. Do you like this abuse>?? Nice try.— January 2, 2011 1:01 p.m.

No doubt our cities are financially strapped, but to blame the average salaried public employees' pension costs is ignoring the bigger issues. ============== The "wars" have nothing, repeat NOTHING, to do with local gov budgets. To claim public employee salary and benefits are not a major problem just goes to show that you are a public employee milking the system and trying to divert away from the scam, because no one makes that ridiculous whopper unless they are on the receiving end of the scam. Public unions today are a direct threat to the survival of the private sector middle class and poor.— January 2, 2011 12:58 p.m.
For-Profit Colleges, Including Bridgepoint, Boost Lobbying
The positive of permitting this student debt to be disposed of through bankruptcy court is that a number of troubled young people would be relieved of a great burden. ================= Under the old rules the debt had to be in defautl for at least 7 years before diacharge, not to mention that the BK stays on the record for 10 years. Only 1 out of every 200 BK's had student loans listed when the ruels allowed it. I agree that once SL'a are again allowed to be discharged that we will see the true extent of the fraud, and the true extent that nearly all schools-including "non profit"- contributed to this mess by jacking tuition at 3 times the rate of inflation.— January 1, 2011 2:30 p.m.

common for elected officials and executives leaders of city government, not other gov employees. ================ No, not just elected officials and executives of gov-but many PUBLIC UNIONS. The CHP and the prison guards BOTH have their pay tied to superior court judges. Last time I checked those two public unions were not elected nor executives of gov.— January 1, 2011 2:24 p.m.
