    Managerial miscues plague California government
    Politics being what they are, officeholders habitually pitch new services and projects to their constituents, seeking favorable images that will carry them through their next election.
    Viewed through the prism of short-term elective politics, management of existing services and projects is seen as humdrum, lacking political sex appeal. But that neglect ill-serves the public and wastes immense amounts of their money.
    It’s why, for instance, that in a state renowned for its advanced technolo

    UCLA’s Jaylen Hands declares for NBA draft
    Sophomore Jaylen Hands has declared for NBA draft, the point guard wrote on social media Sunday, making him the second player from last year’s UCLA team to sign with an agent during the predraft process.
    Hands, who also tested out the NBA waters last season before returning to school to lead the Pac-12 in assists, wrote on social media he has the “full intent to stay in” the draft. Fellow sophomore guard Kris Wilkes signed with an agent two weeks ago.View this post on Instagram

    David Fletcher gets a shot in Angels’ outfield
    ANAHEIM — When Kole Calhoun crashed into the wall on Saturday, giving the Angels two injured outfielders, opportunity came for David Fletcher.
    Calhoun was out of Sunday’s lineup, although he said he’s improved and was available to play, so Fletcher got his first major league start in left field. Brian Goodwin moved to right. Justin Upton will be out until at least June because of a toe injury from a collision with the wall.

    Will California’s taxpayers ever pay enough?
    Every day it seems like the California Legislature careens further off the rails, and we’re not just talking about the state’s infamous high speed rail project. The rapidity of tax increase proposals that would punish both citizen and business taxpayers is breathtaking. Particularly astounding is the fact that new revenue simply isn’t needed given our highest-in-the-nation income tax rate, state sales tax rate and a litany of other tax metrics that cause residents of other stat

    What’s happening, or not happening, at UCLA is reminiscent of what happened with the San Antonio Spurs in 1999.
    The Spurs correctly felt they were headed for an NBA title. They hired a team of marketers, branders and other non-essential personnel to come up with a playoff slogan. They spent untold thousands on the project.
