What San Diego's Gate teachers do for very smart kids
Don't expect to see anything like that in this era of shrinking state funding. ========================== You could actually see more with less funding, but not as long as teacher unions dictate the procedures, rules and anything else of importance. It would require forcing the employees to step up, like everyone else has done the last two years, and focus on the job instead of monetary gain. Public education, which all children are entitled to, is not easy, but that is no excuse to not try harder than what we are right now.— November 19, 2010 8:17 a.m.
Mortgage Mess Could Hit Banks, Housing
Deflation often had the side affect of increasing unemployment and the REAL unemployment rate in California is already 20 percent. ======================= You are right Mindy. The "real" UE rate is the U-6 rate, and in CA it is 22% (21.8%) from the latest stats. It has not changed in basically the last 18 months. It is close to 50% in Detroit, MI. The "official" UE rate that the gov uses is the U-3 rate and a cooked number because it does not account for ANYONE how is out of work for more than 6 months (they claim everyone magically STOPS looking for work at this mystical and arbitrary number)and it counts anyone who has worked ANY amount-even 1 hour- as employed.— November 19, 2010 8:11 a.m.
Lynn Schenk's Trip to Spain Questioned
Lynn Schenk, the ex–Democratic congressmember and former aide to Jerry Brown who was written up last month in the Los Angeles Times for allegedly taking a questionable foreign trip in conjunction with her role as a member of the state’s High-Speed Rail Authority, ======================= That thing needs to be shut down. Curt Pringle, former GOP state legislator, is also under heat for improper business dealings in his role as head of the High-Speed Rail Authority. These positions are nothing more than cronyism/nepotism political payback for the connected few at the expense of the many-the working class and poor. Lynn Schenk was a ONE TERM congresswoman, lasting a short two years before she was booted out. She has a law degree, why doesn’t she go out and make her own money without leeching off the poor and middle class. If I was running this state I would give the people who serve on these boards and commissions a flat per diem of $500 a month, for their 1-2 hours of monthly meetings, instead of their $200K comp packages they get now. It is a scam, if they didn't like it they could quit. Otherwise disband these scams. . http://taxdollars.ocregister.com/2010/11/16/pring… .— November 19, 2010 8:02 a.m.
Where Did the Save-A-Life Money Go?
My apologies to Carol Spizzirri.............— November 19, 2010 7:54 a.m.
Where Did the Save-A-Life Money Go?
Founder, people today just do not have any morals or ethics, and there are no boundries to it-from elected officials, to lawyers, doctors, secretaries, janitors......it is just everywhere. We need to fix this, by leadership. Sanders is not leading us. Carl DeMaio is NOT taking his pension from this City even though he could. Why? Because he is trying to fix the problems with it and that means cutting benefits, and for him to have credibility he needed to repudiate his City pension. That is putting your money where your mouth is in my book. Why can't Sanders do that?— November 19, 2010 7:50 a.m.

Ohhhh...sorry about posting up those links. I would never want to invade anyones privacy. Looking back, you are 100% correct, some of those things should not have been posted.— November 19, 2010 7:47 a.m.

Believe the Grand Jury. Do NOT Believe the Mayor's Office
Someone, and I cant recall if it was you Don or Pat Flannery said that the City could simply not pay the pensions. the municipalities are different than corporations. ========= It is the state that can refuse to pay, or repudiate their debts, any debt, because they are immune from prosecution in both state and federal court per the 11th Amendment. I don't think a muni could get the 11th Am. protection.— November 18, 2010 5:34 p.m.
