  • TechTest2015 Survivors’ Breakfast

    George Rebane Thought I’d inject a little braggadocio for some of our county’s STEM elite young people.  This morning we celebrated the winners of the TechTest2015 at the annual TechTest Survivors’ Breakfast held at Tofanelli’s in Grass Valley.  TT2015 was the ninth presentation of this grueling four-hour merit scholarship exam (which you can inspect or…

  • Supes hear State of Jefferson prezo (updated 18may15)

    George Rebane This afternoon the Nevada County Supervisors heard a presentation on the State of Jefferson by the movement's local steering committee.  It was followed by public comment from both pro and con residents of our county.  I made the following statement during the public comment segment. I too want to thank you for hearing…

  • ‘Just Say NO!’ gets national creds (updated)

    George Rebane For some years now RR has proffered a solution to government’s overreach in hog-tying us with laws, regulations, and codes which are “pointless, stupid, and tyrannical”.  When I have attempted to explain to our elected betters – at least to those who agree that the current regulatory morass painfully afflicts our Republic – how…

  • Scattershots – 3may15 (updated 8may15)

    George Rebane Fed vs Reality.  America’s financial mavens extend their record of missing the mark on predicting our GDP growth.  Why is this important?  Well, it’s their prognostications that not only drive their own policies on things like setting short term interest rates and managing their considerable assets, but these somewhat worthless predictions are still…

  • The Con-Con and SoJ debates

    George Rebane [This is the transcript of my regular KVMR commentary broadcast on 22 April 2015.  This commentary is apropos to the recent RR posts 'Constitutional Convention – the debate continues' and 'Suddenly SoJ has become real' and their respective comment streams.] Most people around here have probably missed what is happening with the efforts to…

  • Suddenly SoJ has become real (updated 19apr15)

    George Rebane The State of Jefferson movement was started over a year ago to offer northern Californians and the citizens of its thinly populated rural counties an alternative to being ignored by the social engineers, central planners, and bureaucrats in Sacramento.  The cry from these people has been ignored for over a generation, and working…

  • Scattershots – 14apr15 (updated 15apr15)

    George Rebane Reading the papers this morning before running some errands in the flats, three little topics tickled my ire – which readers know is easier done than said. Columnist and nationally known analyst of international affairs Bret Stephens shared an insight about the liberal way of lying from our national scene.  He attributes the…

  • Educational Performance? Look Under the Rug (updated 14apr15)

    George Rebane The Nevada County Board of Supervisors will be presented the ‘State of the Schools in Nevada County’ by Superintendent of Schools Holly Hermansen.  (Download State of the Schools in Nevada County April 14, 2015)  The presentation slides have the story, but not the complete story.  In them Ms Hermansen tells the Supes about how many…

  • The Big Government Go Along (updated 7mar15)

    George Rebane I think Union publisher Jim Hemig gets it.  This morning’s (6mar15) Union has another piece by Hemig in which he supports the 12may15 presentation to our Board of Supervisors on the movement to create the new State of Jefferson.  After some pretty deep heel marks on the floor, the persistent efforts of Mr…

  • Nevada County Economic Development

    George Rebane [This is the addended transcript of my regular KVMR commentary that was broadcast on 4 March 2015.] The rural counties of America are in economic doldrums.  Whatever recovery that is enjoyed in the populated urban areas is not trickling down very fast to the less populated counties located in our mountains and deserts. …
