California (again)


Recommended Posts

Sanctuary City for business. That is genius. The natives are restless in California.
 

Atwater is now a business ‘sanctuary city’ during coronavirus pandemic. What does it mean?

“The City of Atwater is not going to go out and enforce any of the shelter in place orders by the state of California,” Mayor Paul Creighton told the Sun-Star. City police and code enforcement will not interfere with businesses that reopen ahead of state guidelines, he said.
 

“But if you do have a state (business) license, that’s between you and the state of California,” Creighton said, noting that the city has no jurisdiction over these licenses.
 

Merced County Sheriff Vern Warnke recently told the Sun-Star that his office is on the same page. “The Sheriff’s Office will not be enforcing the state’s COVID restrictions for businesses that they consider essential or nonessential,” he said.
 

The City of Atwater claims 12 of Merced County’s 200 total cases Friday according to County Public Health.
 

The sanctuary city resolution affirms the city’s commitment to fundamental Constitutional rights. Local officials and residents in attendance made clear their belief that these rights have been stripped recently due to coronavirus-related restrictions.
 

“We have to base our decisions on the Constitution,” said Atwater business owner Chris Coffelt, who brought copies of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Amendments for each City Councilmember.
 

“If you receive an order from the governor telling us that we can’t open our business, that’s an illegal order. It’s unconstitutional,” he added.
 

Councilmember Brian Raymond, who thought of the idea, recently told the Sun-Star the plan is similar to cities like Coalinga, who declared all businesses essential in defiance of the governor’s four stages of reopening. But Atwater is likely the first to use the term sanctuary city in this way, he said.

You know how you get to not see her?  Turn off the TV.  Not that I ever watched local TV before but no way now. I’m getting lots of reading done.

as we lay off EMS workers, rest assured we will retain essential state employees like the Deputy Assistant Vice Provost For Safe Spaces at UC Santa Cruz

Hopefully, they are emptying all the prisons at the same time.

 

"Arsonists, rapists, and thieves, oh my!"

 

 

I want CAL-Exit. They truly deserve to control their own destiny.

 

I am trapped here for a couple more years, then I'm out.

TO BE FAIR, THIS IS ONLY ONE OF THE MANY WAYS CALIFORNIA IS IN TROUBLE: 

 

Why California Is In Trouble – 340,000 Public Employees With $100,000+ Paychecks Cost Taxpayers $45 Billion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

...yet Gruesome Newsome, the former SF mayor (what does THAT tell you), said the Feds have a "moral obligation to the American people" to help out individual states.....he's the poster boy for irresponsible fiscal mismanagement......and how many MILLIONS of Cali taxpayer dollars did he just commit to help ILLEGAL immigrants?.....BOTH sets of my late grandparents came through Ellis Island LEGALLY and didn't get a nickel......

The Tesla factory  is in Fremont, CA. I believe it was originally a Ford factory  and then became a Toyota factory.  CA drove Toyata to TX and will now drive Tesla there too.
