SACRAMENTO – In his continuing effort to end frivolous and costly lawsuits against California businesses, Senator Bob Dutton (R-Rancho Cucamonga) introduced Senate Bill 1186 today that stops unscrupulous attorneys, using the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), to extort money from businesses.

SB 1186 allows business owners 90 days to fix minor infractions before a lawsuit can be filed. This protects the rights of the disabled while ensuring that small businesses are protected from frivolous lawsuits.

The “NEW” Select Committee on Job Creation for the New Economy (see story below). Just another phony-bologna PR attempt by dems to appear as if non-government jobs were important. Just how many of us can work for Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the coastal vacation industry and their Green Jobs Kingdom? The day, Jerry, Darrel and the boys and girls in Sacrament, and Feinstein and Boxer are really willing to look at cutting government waste, inefficiency and over regulation - will never come. That’s because it would force them to deal directly with things like junk science, big labor friends, entitlements and their own distorted progressive beliefs. It will never happen here – regardless of the unemployment rates in California!!

Today, most progressive politicians in the United States associate with the Democratic Party and especially the Green Party of the United States. In the US Congress there exists the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which is often in opposition to the more conservative Democrats, who form the Blue Dogs caucus. Some of the more notable progressive members of Congress have included Ted Kennedy, Russ Feingold,^[7] Dennis Kucinich, Barney Frank, Alan Grayson, Bernie Sanders, Al Franken, John Conyers, John Lewis, Paul Wellstone and just about every political democrat (State and Federal) in California politics.

Talking jobs, but a litmus test looms

San Diego Union-Trib., 8-19-11

With California in its worst extended period of high unemployment since the Great Depression, the state’s Democratic leaders are finally talking jobs and the obstacles to job creation that are caused by excessive government regulation.

Gov. Jerry Brown on Wednesday named Michael Rossi, a retired Bank of America executive, as an unpaid jobs czar to advise on how to create jobs and to act as liaison between the administration, business and labor leaders. Senate President Darrell Steinberg last week said he would soon unveil measures to streamline permitting, eliminate duplicative state regulations and create some sort of standardized economic impact analysis to weigh the costs of new regulations. And two weeks ago, Assembly Speaker John Pérez announced he had named Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher, R-San Diego, to chair a new legislative panel, the Select Committee on Job Creation for the New Economy. One of its goals is making it easier for businesses to form and expand.
