• Tiger Woods leaves historical footnotes in fifth Masters win

  14-04-2019 23:31
  
  AUGUSTA, Ga. – Tiger Woods’ victory on Sunday comes with more footnotes than a textbook.
  He becomes the first man to win Masters championships 14 years apart.
  He came within three years of becoming the oldest Masters champion. He is 43 and Jack Nicklaus was 46 when he won in 1986.
  He is the first to win Masters in his 20s and 40s but not his 30s, and is the second oldest champion.
  He won his 81st PGA Tour event in his 81st major championship.
  He won a fifth Masters, breaking a tie wi

• Bond issue transparency still under assault

  14-04-2019 23:00
  
  Two years ago, in a rare display of support for transparency in government finance, the Legislature and then-Gov. Jerry Brown required local governments and school districts to tell voters how proposed bond issues would affect their property taxes.
  That would seem to be just common sense and good government, but local officials complained that Assembly Bill 195 would be too difficult to implement. Their real motive, however, was a fear that telling voters that their tax bills would increase migh

• Is California really a low property tax state?

  14-04-2019 21:00
  
  To hear progressives tell it, California’s property tax is way too low and needs to be increased to fund the critical needs of schools and local governments.  But the notion that Proposition 13 – enacted 40 years ago – has somehow “starved” local governments is nothing more than urban myth.  In virtually every year since 1978, the growth in property tax revenue has exceeded the combined growth in inflation and population.
