More proof that universal basic income programs are ineffective. That's why other nations have abandoned them. @hjta. "A study finds $1,000 monthly payments have few long-term benefits." wsj.com/opinion/guaran… via Wall Street Journal Opinion

In a stunning report, StorageCafe reveals that CA remains the “undisputed leader in outbound migration nationwide, with nearly 683,000 residents leaving the state in a single year, according to U.S. Census data.” HJTA.org. The Sandstorm: Malifornia. heartland.org/opinion/the-sa…

Just another failed progressive policy. "The share of teens who are working is the lowest since August 2020. One culprit is rising minimum wages in many states." @hjta. wsj.com/opinion/teen-u… via Wall Street Journal Opinion

Give credit where credit is due. Thank you @CAGovernor Newsom for your veto of AB 699 which would have weakened ballot transparency of local tax and bond measures. @hjta. Rep. Jay Obernolte.

In many respects, it is a meaningless distinction. "Jon Coupal: Is California really a ‘donor state’?" @hjta. ocregister.com/2025/10/05/jon…

From the taxpayers' perspective, conditioning sobriety for housing makes more sense over the long term than "housing first." The veto was disappointing. "The fight for sober homeless housing in S.F. isn’t over." @hjta. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/fig… via San Francisco Chronicle

Look, its not a "citizens' initiative" if government polls it, drafts it, writes the title and summary, and leads the campaign. "Jon Coupal: The fiction of citizens’ tax initiatives in California." @hjta. ocregister.com/2025/10/13/jon…

A worthy read from one of California's smartest lawyers. "Newsom’s unfair special election sets a terrible precedent." @hjta. ocregister.com/2025/10/01/new…

CA is considering a new wealth tax while TX is considering banning three categories of taxes. Guess where biz are moving? "Financiers fleeing the coasts want to know that TX’s business climate will remain friendly in the future." @hjta. wsj.com/opinion/texas-… via Wall Street Journal Opinion

In CA, voter education should be job #1. "Even in a blue city like Austin, voters rejected property-tax hikes and sided with Republicans when presented with a clear choice about the cost of living." @hjta. wsj.com/opinion/texas-… via Wall Street Journal Opinion

Great reporting by Ryan Sabalow CalMatters. "California lawmakers found money for these pet projects even as they slashed the budget." @hjta. calmatters.org/politics/2025/…
