    Latinos and the California Dream: Mike Madrid
    For Latinos, the California Dream is becoming an unattainable fantasy.
    The dream that inspired generations to come West and find success as defined by the individual has all but vanished for the state’s largest ethnic group. The days when workers flocked to the state for employment in everything from the storied Gold Rush to the Hollywood back lots to today’s Silicon Valley have vanished. It’s not just workers who are finding it impossible to climb the economic ladder; small bu

    Newsom makes a few good moves: Jon Coupal
    There is little debate that California is a harsh, anti-taxpayer environment ruled by a tax-happy majority party.  However, in this super-partisan environment that grips both California and the entire nation, it is important to point out when our political adversaries do something positive.
    In that spirit, let’s acknowledge what Gov. Gavin Newsom did right for California’s taxpayers.
    First, he vetoed Senate Bill 268, which would have weakened important tax transparency laws that

    There was never a good reason for California to try punishing President Trump by requiring candidates to disclose their income tax returns in order to appear on the primary election ballot. But life in our virtual one-party state meant that a state law was passed anyway to do exactly that. Fortunately, a judge struck it down.

    Still, the homecoming crowd of 53,826 didn’t get the pick-me-up bouquet it wanted.
    Too many injuries, to the point that the cart driver was the leading ground gainer.

    I recently spent a night in a motel whose décor included lots and lots of plants – in the reception area, the lobby, the hallways, and the rooms. The plants were without blemish – but they were artificial. There is definitely a trend in this direction and I suppose it’s just a matter of time until outdoor décor will include artificial plants as well.
