Secret DMV office serves lawmakers, Capitol staffers

A Big Fuck You From Democrats

• The Democrat run legislature has a secret DMV office with no lines for their private use.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —

In California, long lines are a fact of life at Department of Motor Vehicles offices across the state, but for California lawmakers and their legislative staffers, there’s an alternative.

KCRA has learned of a DMV office that is not open to the public.

It’s located inside the Legislative Office Building on N Street, adjacent to the state Capitol.

The office, inside Room 121, has no markings on the door and was locked when KCRA visited it on Thursday, but after knocking, a worker confirmed it was a DMV office and said it’s set up to handle customer complaints that escalate to the legislative branch.

However, having a private office for legislators and their Capitol staff is a source of frustration for Assemblyman Jim Patterson, R-Fresno. His request for an official DMV audit was denied when three Democrats -- Senators Ricardo Lara, of Los Angeles; Ben Allen, of Santa Monica; and Jim Beall, of San Jose -- abstained from voting.

“I've been here six years and I'm not surprised that legislators have given themselves special privileges and perks that typical Californians just don't get,” Patterson said

When asked how constituents might feel about a special office for lawmakers, Lara wasn't too sure about the office's purpose.

“Well, I think it's open to the public, if I recall,” Lara said. “I'm not sure, I haven't used it."

The special office, which has a locked door, is not open to the public.

Democrats to tax family businesses to death

From Each According To Their Ability

(Sacramento Bee)  -  Chuck Collins, a researcher for a progressive Washington, D.C., think tank, recently wrote a ringing endorsement of a proposed 2020 ballot measure that would impose a state-level estate tax to pay for free college for all Californians (“One way to offer free college: Restore the state estate tax,” Viewpoints, June 13).

Collins apparently doesn’t realize, or doesn’t care, that this $4 billion-a-year proposal would create financial hardships for family businesses and farms that often result in liquidation and loss of jobs.

Family businesses are the bedrock of their communities and the economy. A recent study showed that the state’s 1.4 million small businesses employ 7 million people. They tend to pay their employees more, train them better and provide more generous benefits than non-family companies. They’re also less likely to significantly downsize during tough economic times.

Because families are in it for the long term, they focus not just on the next fiscal quarter but the next quarter-century. And because they’re based in their communities, they donate time and money for local organizations and projects.

But keeping businesses family-owned is a struggle. Only about 30 percent survive into the second generation, about 12 percent into the third generation and just 3 percent operate in the fourth generation and beyond.

To help family businesses pass from one generation to the next, four states have repealed their estate taxes since 2010. Fortunately, two initiatives passed by voters in 1982 prohibit an estate tax in California, and that can only be changed by the voters.

The Family Business Association of California vigorously opposes a “death tax” for California and leads a coalition of 40 associations against the flawed concept. To quote Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman in a letter that’s been signed by more than 700 other economists: “It is a bad message and a bad tax. Death shouldn’t be a taxable event.”

Robert Rivinius is executive director of the Family Business Association of California. He can be contacted at Robert@mybfa.org.

California has a lot of psychopaths, new study says

Tell me something I didn't know

(ABC News)  -  A new study is revealing which states have the most psychopaths, and California is high on the list.

Southern Methodist University used data on the "big five" personality traits.

Topping the list is Connecticut, followed by California and then New Jersey.

Overall, the Northeast has more psychopaths than the rest of the country.

Washington, D.C. was excluded from the general list, but when included, it beat out every state as the most psychopathic place in the country.

BORING - Lowest voter turnout since 1980

Voters Sleep Through The "Election"

• With party primaries abolished voter turnout keep dropping.

(OC Register)  -  The 2016 presidential election set records for voter registration and turnout in California, while Tuesday’s primary election had one of the lowest turnouts.

The final turnout figures will not be certified for several weeks and could rise a few percentage points statewide, or as many as 10 points in populous Southern California counties with heated congressional races. You can see updated totals at the California Secretary of State’s portal.

According to opensecrets.org, four of the nation’s 10 most expensive congressional races were in Southern California. Here’s how much was spent and what the results are:

Gavin Newsom for Governor

Never Trumper Meg Whitman is backing Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa for Governor

Thank God I Voted Libertarian

• I smelled Meg's bullshit from 100 miles away and voted for the Libertarian Party for Governor in 2010. 
• Shortly after the GOP and Dems joined forces to ban all small political parties and independent candidates from all future general election ballots. My only choice these days is to leave the ballot blank. 

(Breitbart California)  -  Billionaire Meg Whitman, who was the Republican nominee for California governor in 2010 and lost to Jerry Brown, is backing Democrat Antonio Villaraigosa for governor in 2018.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “Whitman, the billionaire former eBay CEO who spent $144 million of her own money on her failed run in 2010, is co-hosting a fundraiser Thursday night for Villaraigosa in Silicon Valley.”

A source close to Whitman told the Chronicle, “Meg has endorsed Antonio because, although she is a Republican, she believes he’s the best candidate for the job. Meg believes that Antonio is stronger than (Lt. Gov.) Gavin (Newsom) on both the economy and education, which are both important issues.”

Whitman is endorsing Villaraigosa likely knowing full well that if he places second in the June 5 primary, he and Newsom — a fellow Democrat — will advance to the general election, with no Republican on the ballot.

That, in turn, analysts say, would put the Republican Party at greater risk of losing control of Congress, because fewer Republicans would turn out to vote, and Democrats would benefit in congressional races throughout the state.

In 2016, Whitman emerged as one of the strongest voices against President Donald Trump during his successful bid for the nation’s highest office, contributing financially the “Never Trump” movement against him.

She reportedly compared Trump to the fascist dictators Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini.
