The End of Tolerance

By Matt Kauble | 05/11/09

This editorial originally appeared in the Los Cerritos Community News Since the Sacramento Budget Game editorial, I have received certain communications, mostly in reference to the last tag. And though in a conversation I would have explained my position in clearer terms, I needed to make it more concise so that the letter itself would fit into the space available for such letters.

The Sacramento Budget Game

Note: the following article was submitted and published last week in the Los Cerritos Community News.  I have added back for clarity purposes portions that were ommitted for space reasons. In February, the Sacramento Folks hatched a budget deal that included 6 propositions on the May ballot that they said would solve the budget gap of $32 Billion. Except they came back in March, saying that the budget gap is still $8 Billion shy of... read more »

A Redistricting thought exercise

By Matt Kauble | 03/18/09

The following is a thought exercise. I sometimes do these exercises of the mind to see what the impact of changing numbers around would be.  This thought exercise started several years ago, after I noticed that it became more easily gerrymandered and less representative of the general population, after the state of Massachusetts reduced the number of seats in its state legislature on the excuse of saving money.  Their costs have since... read more »

And what I mean by that is an opportunity to do things you think you could not do... read more »

Israel Will Be a Heavy Weight to Obama's Administration

By Matt Kauble | 12/28/08

The recent attacks of Israel on the Hamas controlled Gaza strip will probably end well before Obama is sworn into office.  But future attacks by Hamas, Hezbollah and Fatah will probably draw Israel into more conflicts which will end the lives of even more Palestinians and make the Middle East Obama's number one foreign policy area of focus over at least the next four years, if not beyond. Thing is Obama needs to continue the U.S. policy of... read more »
