In his comment to my blog the other day, Alessandro raised several points; it does seem counterintuitive to essentially ask for higher property taxes, by eliminating the effects of Proposition 13 in California. Why would anyone want to do that? Especially now? (more…)

Rather than attempt to get over the snowy pass this year, we stayed home for the holidays. The last time we stayed home, a little stray football, with legs, gave birth in our closet, to five squirmy kittens. That was in 2002. While one died as a young adult, the rest of the kittens, and Momma cat have been with us since.
In the season of giving, gifts often come in unexpected ways. (more…)

Kenneth Star (Remember him?) is arguing the case for Prop 8 sponsors.
Prop. 8 sponsors seek to nullify 18K gay marriages
By LISA LEFF
Associated Press Writer
Published: Friday, Dec. 19, 2008
[SAN FRANCISCO — The sponsors of Proposition 8 asked the California Supreme Court on Friday to nullify the marriages of the estimated 18,000 same-sex couples who exchanged vows before voters approved the ballot initiative that outlawed gay unions.
The Yes on 8 campaign filed a brief arguing that because the new law holds that only marriages between a man and a woman are recognized or valid in California, the state can no longer recognize the existing same-sex unions….
…The cases are Strauss v. Horton, S168047; City and County of San Francisco v. Horton, S168078; and Tyler v. State of California, S168066.]

Property taxes are used to pay for all the public services we get citizens. They include, but are not limited to:
Universities and other public schools, roads, bridges, state parks, city parks, regional planning, flood abatement, street lights, sewer maintenance, libraries, busses, mass transit, public swimming pools, the state and local governments, police, firefighters, social services, hospitals, state and local fairs, etc. The list is endless. The list also represents a wide variety of jobs, paid through state funds, with equal opportunity and health benefits. (more…)
California Slides Down the Tubes

“The economy of California is a dominant force in the economy of the United States, with California paying more to the federal system than it receives in direct monetary benefits.”
It’s official, we are in the well! If you think this will just affect California, think again. The state’s economic engine is too big; it ranks 10th in the world economy. I guess the state will need to keep what’s left of that money to pay unemployment to all those folks they just laid off. Get rid of Proposition 13 now! (more…)
