  • The Crash of Vallejo

    George Rebane “Will your “leaders” simply shrug or will they learn from the crash of Vallejo?”  So starts the latest of a series of timely posts on unfunded and unreported liabilities by Mike McDaniel on the SESF blog.  Mike has been uncovering such unfunded and unreported liabilities currently burdening the Nevada County jurisdictions for retirement…

  • Yes, the BOS Meeting was Bizarre and Illogical

    George Rebane   John and Sandra Hensley again invited all of their friends to join them lakeside at Scotts Flat Lake to celebrate Labor Day.  John started these Memorial and Labor Day gatherings thirty years ago, and for many of us locals they mark the beginning and end of summer. Tonight the tradition continued and…

  • Obamessiah Strikes

    George Rebane The word has come down from the mountain – ‘Destroy her, and do it quickly!’  Obamessiah knows that he will be facing a blizzard of blasphemous video clips from that Democratic trifecta of Hillary, Billary, and Biden. Each of them, with serious and sincere mien, will deconstruct his carefully camouflaged canton of leadership…
