The U.S. Supreme Court stunned California on May 23 when it ruled that the state must depopulate its overcrowded prison system by tens of thousands of inmates.

The decree, written by Californian Anthony Kennedy, reignited the state’s perennial debate over crime’s causes, effects and remedies.

While liberal critics of the state’s criminal justice system hailed it as a long overdue wake-up call for reform, conservatives raised the specter of felonious hordes being released to prey upon the public.

A day later, California Attorney General Kamala Harris announced that the state’s rates of homicide and other violent crimes had continued a decades-long decline. She said it “reflects the tireless efforts of our peace officers” and pledged support for “their brave, relentless and selfless work in protecting the people of California from hardened criminals.”

Barbara Cram Riordan

Earlier this year popular KFI 640 radio talk show hosts John and Ken focused a number of shows on the California Air Resources Board (CARB), detailing the facts that show the agency is out of control.  The upcoming implementation of AB 32, the Global Warming Solutions Act, only makes this very powerful agency all the more dangerous to the teetering economy of California.

John and Ken primarily focused their attention on Mary D. Nichols, who is the chairperson for CARB.  Nichols was first appointed to the CARB in 1978 by then-Governor Jerry Brown.   She served under Brown until 1983.  She was reappointed as chairman in 2007 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

iePolitics: Job Killing California Air Resources Board Rules Have Local Connections

San Bernardino County’s past continues to haunt us.  It is not corruption, at least not exactly, but we find that yet another former Chairman of the Board of Supervisors is making news.  This time we have to go back even further than Jerry Eaves to find the culprit.

Barbara Cram Riordan, a 1961 University of Redlands graduate, served on the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors from 1983 until her third full term ended in 1996. Prior to her stint with the County of San Bernardino, she served on the Redlands City Council for four years.

Riordan was appointed to the California Air Resources Board in 1991 by then-Governor Pete Wilson, reappointed in 1999 by  former-Governor Gray Davis and again in 2004 by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.  She served as Chairman of the Air Resources Board twice for short periods of time.  She has also previously served on the Mojave Desert Air Quality Management District Board of Directors.

So what does all of this have to do with killing jobs and scandal you might ask?  Has anyone been listening to KFI640′s John and Ken of late?  If not, you are missing out. Continue reading →
