• How reducing red tape improves infrastructure

  22-03-2018 15:00 via ocregister.com
  The Trump administration’s new infrastructure proposal hopes $200 billion in new federal spending could spur $1.5 trillion in total infrastructure investment, but the plan’s streamlining and reducing of burdensome regulations may be the more important short-term policy.
  A frequently-used data point in infrastructure debates is that America’s cumulative infrastructure grade was a D+ on the American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2017 infrastructure report card. One of the les

• Susan Shelley: The Supreme Court could make election night great again

  17-01-2026 16:30 via ocregister.com
  
  California counts votes very slowly. While many other states and even other countries can tally ballots and report totals on election night, Californians have become accustomed to waiting an entire month before the winner is known in close races.
  One reason for this is a state law that requires all 58 counties to accept late-arriving mail ballots for seven days after the polls close. But that could be about to change.
  Federal law (2 U.S. Code Section 7) states that there is one “day for th

  A restoration project spearheaded by the Surfrider Foundation to repair and care for coastal dunes is underway in northern Seal Beach.
  The effort seeks to rebuild dunes, a nature-based solution, to help combat flooding, with the sand mounds covered with vegetation acting as a natural barrier between the sea and infrastructure. Natural dunes also create an environment where wildlife can live and thrive.

• Mushrooms are popping up on the lawn? Here’s what to do

  17-01-2026 16:20 via ocregister.com
  
  Q: After the rain, I’ve been seeing mushrooms popping up in my lawn. Are they harmful? If so, how do I get rid of them?
  Mushrooms are a normal sight after cool, rainy weather. In fact, their presence indicates that your soil contains lots of organic matter (which is a good thing). Healthy soil contains a huge variety of organisms, including fungi, that feed on decaying organic material. The fungi are always present, but if there’s moisture, they will produce fruiting bodies (mushroom

• Why this 47-year-old book is the best source for gardeners

  17-01-2026 15:50 via ocregister.com
  
  In my humble opinion, the best book on gardening is “The Principles of Gardening: The Classic Guide to the Gardener’s Art” by Hugh Johnson.
  First published in 1979 and still widely available through Internet vendors, this book, above all, will inspire you to grab a shovel or trowel or shears and start planting, pruning, or propagating right away.
  I have always thought that good garden writing creates a sense of urgency in the reader to actually start engaging in what author Joh

• Is the middle class ‘shrinking’ or ‘struggling’? The difference is important.

  17-01-2026 15:00 via ocregister.com
  
  “The middle class is shrinking” might be the assertion of the decade. Progressives and populists alike use it to justify nearly all government interventions, from tariffs to minimum-wage hikes to massive spending to income redistribution. But before we accept its validity, we should ask a simple question: shrinking how?
  Is the number of Americans considered part of the middle class diminishing? Or the amount of wealth they can realistically build? Or the value of what they can buy?
