InlandPolitics: S.B. County: Still paralyzed, no action on budget

Posted on by Administrator

Well April is almost here and the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has yet to hold formal budget hearings on any plan on solving a projected shortfall of more than $90 million for the fiscal year commencing July 1.

The county is reportedly wanting all employee unions to cancel all negotiated salary increases including last years deferrals in order to fill more than $30 million of the projected deficit. The move, if agreed to, would wipe out all previously negotiated wage increases and would most likely mean county employees would see no raises for at least a five to six year period.

 Senator George Runner - Week In Review

 

 

Distraction – it’s a time-honored strategy

Kids do it when they’re in trouble. Husbands do it when they want to watch a game instead of doing chores. Dogs do it when they bring you a toy after they’ve had an “accident.” Even army generals do it when they want to disguise their retreat or find a devious way to win. And, according to Machiavelli, so do politicians.

That’s what is happening with the California Forward budget reform proposals introduced by Democrat legislative leaders – they are a distraction to facilitate deception.

Maybe we should call the proposal a diversion – a game or smokescreen – instead of reform. The real goal of this effort is to allow Democrats to raise taxes with a majority vote and eliminate the power Republicans have to stop their overspending. Continue reading →

iePolitics: Well Mark Kirk, since you delete my text messages without reading them . . .

You force me to communicate with you publicly.  I know you feel all of us, not just me, but every one of us who was a victim of Mark Uffer and Andrew Lamberto, deserve what we have received for standing up for ourselves against dishonest, vindictive administrators.  All any of us want out of those who have the power to make things right is for you to take corrective action and do just that, make things right.

But you are so worried about getting Gary Ovitt re-elected that you have shirked your responsibility to employees and constituents alike.  The very people that voted Gary into office are rebelling.  Voters everywhere are sick and tired of incumbents who only care about themselves with little concern for their constituents.  Gary may very well be a man of integrity but he has let the voters of this county down.

Editor:  I have been told that in the years since the rave described below another 24 individuals have lost their lives and these deaths continue to be covered up.  I have not been able to confirm much of anything except that the tribe is apparently terrified of this blog and of having the Federal Bureau of Investigation becoming involved again.  Anyway, here is a story written by George Watson when he was a reporter with the Press Enterprise.  He actually camped out up there and witnessed the rave first hand.

3 dead after rave in Mojave Desert
LAKE HAVASU: One overdose, two wrecks and a turnout of more than 20,000 confirm authorities’ greatest fears.

BY GEORGE WATSON
THE PRESS-ENTERPRISE
LAKE HAVASU

They had come to the Chemehuevi Indian Reservation for a memorable dance in an ancient territory. But when tens of thousands of people left the 14-hour overnight rave Sunday, the most lasting memory was of the casualties left behind.

One person died from what was believed to be an overdose during the rave billed as “Nocturnal Wonderland” in the middle of the Mojave Desert.

Two other victims, neither from the rave, were killed in separate accidents involving people who authorities said had been at the rave that began the night before. Continue reading →

Tim Donnelly: Guess your voice doesn’t count in Pelosi’s Congress…

The more we learn about the proposed Health (ObamaCare) Bill, the less the people want it! And what is Pelosi’s take? Too bad, you already approved it. The Supreme Court interpreted the Constitution to say that the “precise text of the bill” must be subject to a vote. Let that sink in for a minute. The more we know about it, the less we like it. But they are telling us our input is not welcome. The people be damned, the Supreme Court be damned, the Constitution be damned. That’s Nancy Pelosi’s take! Your voice is not welcome….she is not even pretending to govern at your consent. Continue reading →
