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. Both conclude the mass “California Exodus” that this state’s Republican politicians st...

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 companies, Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric have also been found negligent an...

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.

Such courses are not yet requ...

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 issue won’t be easy to resolve fairly, and the state Public Utility Commission’s habit of giv...

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 Newsom’s administration had banned inside restaurant dining, and the crowd was above the state-imp...
