  Thirty-four years ago, two researchers delved into California’s rapidly changing demographic and economic trends and saw  “an emerging two-tier economy with Asians and better-educated non-Hispanic whites and blacks competing for the prestigious occupations while poorly educated Hispanics and blacks scramble for the lower status jobs…”
  The study, entitled “Population Change and California’s Future,” was the work of Phil Martin of UC Davis and Leon B

• Government compounds insult by cheating on tax collections

  It’s bad enough that California taxes its citizens more than almost all other states, but adding insult to injury, government entities often cheat on the way that they collect taxes.
  This happens in several ways. First, there are times when a government entity knows a tax is illegal but imposes it anyway either hoping no one will notice or knowing they can collect tons of revenue while the issue is resolved in court.  This author’s first experience with governments’ comple

  LOS ANGELES — UCLA running back Joshua Kelley is officially “day-to-day” with a knee injury, head coach Chip Kelly said Sunday before practice.
  Kelley, UCLA’s star running back, sustained the injury in practice Thursday and has not been on the field for practice the past three days.
