That’ s thanks to an edict from state Insurance Commissioner Richard Lara forbidding insurance companies from cancelling or“ non-renewing” fire coverage for homeowners on the fringes of this year’ s two most destructive fires: the Dixie Fire that spread for weeks across many tens of thousands of acres in several Northern California counties and the Caldor...

It just might turn out that the Delta variant of the coronavirus becomes the best thing that’s happened to California Gov. Gavin Newsom in quite a while, columnist Tom Elias

It’s not all his fault, but Newsom bears copious responsibility for his present predicament, columnist Tom Elias says.

THOMAS D. ELIAS Around California, bureaucrats on a large scale have not yet begun to recognize that the solution to the state’s housing crisis has been at hand from the moment the coronavirus pandemic struck. All it should take is for some of them to venture outside their ivory tower homes and offices to read the vacancy signs on countless office buildings where billions of square feet once occupied by cubicles and conference tables now sit derelict as many lessees reduce thei...

THOMAS D. ELIAS The entire recall campaign targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom has been built for months on the presumption that many, if not most, Californians are unhappy with how things are going, dissatisfied with their own lives and losing hope for a solid future here. This, goes the premise, will make them leap to change leaders barely a year before the next regular election would give them the same option anyway. Now come two university-level studies that bode very well for Newsom. B...

THOMAS D. ELIAS There are few companies in today’s California so reviled as the three large privately-owned utilities that deliver electricity to most Californians. With good reason. The largest of them, Pacific Gas & Electric Co., convicted twice of killing its customers willy-nilly via preventable disasters in San Bruno and Paradise, now stands formally accused in 33 more felony counts of causing other losses and fatalities in Sonoma County fires. The other big private power ...

THOMAS D. ELIAS Critical Ethnic Studies couldn’t get in the front door of California’s public schools, so now adherents of the historical perspective that’s considered by many to be both anti-white American and anti-Semitic are trying to enter through the rear. Grappling with the prospect of developing new ethnic studies programs for middle and high schools, districts in many parts of California are hiring co-authors and backers of a rejected first version of the stat...

THOMAS D. ELIAS A state legislative bill that could have killed rooftop solar installation in California is now itself dead, but the issue that sparked it lives on, now left to be resolved by a state commission that has long been a utility company lapdog. That’s the reality today, after the demise of AB1139, a bill that would have broken promises made by the state to all California residents with rooftop solar panels providing energy for themselves and others. The remaining iss...

THOMAS D. ELIAS From their first day of circulating petitions targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom, backers of the upcoming recall election attacked his credibility. They make some strong points, but those same organizers also suffer credibility problems of their own. Their favorite target all along has been Newsom’s notorious dinner party last fall with lobbyist pals at Yountville’s super-pricey, Michelin-starred French Laundry restaurant. It was largely indoors at a time when New...
