  • CARB Űber Alles

    George Rebane Ms Mary D. Nichols, chair of the California Air Resources Board, came to Nevada City tonight to speak to us about AB32.  To a full city council chamber the lady calmly laid out the regulatory program that still awaits us should Prop23 fail to halt the implementation of the rest of California’s demonstration…

  • Prop23 – Some (Private Sector) Unions Get It

    George Rebane A heartening and well written op-ed piece ‘Like Having a Job? You’ll love Proposition 23’ appeared in 18sep10 The Union by James Kellogg, an official with the United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and Pipe Fitting Industry.  These people, who organize workers in profit making private firms, have taken a look…

  • Ed Scofield joins BoS Prop23 Supporters

    George Rebane Supervisor Ed Scofield adds his name to those of Supervisors John Spencer and Ted Owens in their public support of Proposition 23.  Their corroborating the job killing impact on Nevada County from implementing the remainder of AB32 is a visible show of leadership to their constituents on this super-critical issue.  See also Barry…

  • Ruminations – 13sep2010

    George Rebane Our President’s lies on the costs and benefits of Obamacare are shredding whatever government credibility remains about the nature of our new national healthcare program.  The chief community organizer (CCO) sold us his bill of goods with lavish promises of lower healthcare costs.  Only the hardcore and terminally left believed that fiction when…

  • Scattershots – 10sep2010

    George Rebane Mark Meckler of the Tea Party Patriots sent a National Journal article ‘Group Think’ by Jonathan Rauch of the Brookings Institute that describes the TPP and its (dis)organization.  It is an excellent description of the state of this vast and growing movement by someone from a left-of-center policy analysis organization.  Well written yet…

  • Read ’em and weep

    George Rebane While Democrats and local outfits like the cynically named Sierra Business Council hype AB32, and oppose the passage of Proposition 23 to suspend at least a part of that legislative atrocity, long time California businesses with real wealth creating jobs are bailing out.  Nevada County will be taking the remaining hits to its economy…

  • AB32/Prop23 is Very Relevant to Nevada County

    George Rebane This was to be my bi-weekly KVMR commentary to be aired last night.  After recording it, I have asked Paul Emery to pull it because its inclusion of Steve Frisch by name could launch another round of ‘equal time’ broadcasts that threaten to subsume the important Prop23 issue into a seeming personal matter between…

  • The Local News Just Gets Worse

    George Rebane There is no visible improvement in the economy of Nevada County as a result of any of the stimulus packages that Washington is supposed to be redistributing to us.  Our left wing continues to cite all kinds of millions that are cascading into the county’s economy.  Their invisibility to the rest of us…

  • Knife at a Gunfight

    George Rebane Tonight I ‘discussed’ Prop23 with Steven Frisch on KVMR-FM 89.5.  News director Paul Emery did his best to moderate the forty minute discussion which turned out to be something else.  Steve was in his element and smooth as silk.  I felt like I was pushing a car with three flat tires up a…

  • AB32 and Prop23 discussion on KVMR

    George Rebane This coming Wednesday from 6:20 to 7:00 pm KVMR-FM 89.5 will hold a moderated discussion of AB32, the attempt to suspend the remainder of the law through the passage of Proposition 23, and the relevance of the whole effort to us in Nevada County.  AB32 is also known as California’s ‘Global Warming Solutions…
