I Couldn’t Take It Anymore; So I Left Morning Radio
It’s the most prevalent question asked of me these days: “Eric, why did you leave your successful radio career and join William Jessup University?”
My answer: I have a renewed purpose with great passion; a realization that effective cultural transformation will now – for the first time in my life – happen behind me, as exceptionally educated young men and women are prepared to embrace their life’s journey, service and call to society.

During the upcoming 18 months and beyond, there’s a single, overarching goal California Republicans must pursue: restoring a Republican legislative majority to Sacramento. Time for a majority for the GOP.

I share the belief that finding ways to create sustainable economic growth is at the heart of what we must do in America. Achieving a 4 percent growth rate is absolutely the right goal – because without robust growth nothing else is possible.

By the end of this new decade California Latinos will become a new majority in population and voter constituentcy for the Golden State. The California Republican Party has been successfully disenfranchised Latino interests with brazen political rhetoric and pointed public policy – to the point that Latino voters have been forced to find a comfortable home within the progressive California Democratic Party.

Governor Jerry Brown is preparing to tour the state this week, representing his budget’s proposal to increase taxes to satisfy the state’s $26 billion deficit.

Since Governor Jerry Brown is visiting “GOP areas” throughout the state this week – reported to be discussing the state budget impasse and his tax proposition initiative – I’ve decided to offer the governor a full hour during my noon show called the “Capitol Hour.”
Gov. Brown is desiring to talk to GOP voters (teachers, law enforcement, etc.); there is no better radio means in the Sacramento region than the one station that speaks to registered GOP voters in the surrounding ‘red’ counties – especially those districts that are represented by members of the legislature who believe it is wrong to even consider (negotiate) placing a tax prop on the ballot in-exchange for government reforms.

The Sacramento Bee reported yesterday that Gov. Jerry Brown signed AB 1319, a bill that will ban BPA from baby bottles and sippy cups made or sold in California. Despite the absence of a single credible study linking BPA directly to any harm whatsoever, beginning July 1, 2013 bottles and cups made for children under age 3 may not contain bisphenol A, a common chemical in clear plastic containers. Supporters of the bill including its author Assemblywoman Betsy Butler, D-Marina Del Rey, along with environmental groups, labor unions and consumer groups argued that BPA harms babies when it leaches from containers into their milk and food. AB 1319 was opposed by chemical makers, employers and industry groups, including the California Chamber of Commerce, the California Manufacturers and Technology Association and the American Chemistry Council. What supporters miss in their zeal to ban BPA are two things: one is that the

Under normal circumstances, it best to keep government decisions as local as possible. But the fight to stop a dump from desecrating Gregory Canyon in north east San Diego County, is no ordinary circumstance. SB 833, authored by two legislators from San Diego (Sen. Vargas and Asm. Hueso) would stop a dump from being built in a pristine canyon on the border of the Pala Indian Reservation. The canyon sits on the banks on San Luis Rey River, a source of drinking water for thousands of local residents, but just as important is the sanctity of the land itself. It has been the site of rituals and ceremonies for Luiseno Indians for hundreds of years; you can still see the pictographs on a giant rock that would be on the border of the landfill. There is a reason that SB 833 received near unanimous support in both the Assembly and

The Sacramento Chapter of the California Young Republican Federation (CYRF) announced today that it was awarded the 2011 CYRF Chapter of the Year this past weekend at the CYRF Convention in San Francisco. The award was presented at a dinner Saturday night with Ann Coulter and more than 300 guests in attendance. In 2011, the Sacramento CYRF grew from 20 to 65 dues paying members, and the organization brought the largest delegation to the inaugural CYRF convention. “This award recognizes our members’ activism in Republican politics,” said Curtis Grima, President of the Sacramento Young Republicans. “We hope to build on the momentum from this award, continue to build our membership and help Republican candidates throughout the state.” The Sacramento Young Republicans also had three members chosen to sit on the statewide board of directors. Michael Major was elected Northern Region Chair and Anton Hartmann and Adam Ellison were appointed Northern

We’ve all seen those all-too-familiar signs: “This Area Contains Chemicals Know To The State Of California To Cause Cancer And Birth Defects Or Other Reproductive Harm.” This was one of the gifts bestowed upon us by Proposition 65, a 1986 California law that dictates that establishments in the state display warning signs about potential exposure to dangerous chemicals, either in consumer products or the property itself. It’s not that I have beef with the signs themselves—it is perfectly rational to want to be informed about possibly carcinogenic or reproductive system-harming substances. But I found out recently that bisphenol A [BPA] is being considered for the list of chemicals that currently stands at over 900. I think about things like lead paint that people lived with for decades and went on to live perfectly normal lives and then think about the consequences of including such a common substances as BPA on

There seems to be a great amount of disconnect among the state’s work force, and those who have made it their personal mission to represent government salaries, benefits and pensions. The common perception is that state workers (as a whole) are underpaid, thus grealty under appreciated.

Some have asked me what publication represented the Sacramento Press Club’s Budget Debate with FlashReport’s Jon Fleischman most accurately; my appreciation goes to Bob Schmidt of the Capitol Morning Report.

The Sacramento region must proceed with plans for a downtown sports area, whether or not the Kings decide to stay in town. A properly designed and managed sports arena, built for maximum public benefit with minimum public funding, is essential to our region’s long term economic health.

4th Assembly Candidates Beth Gaines, John Allard, Cheryl Bly-Chester and Rob Matthews appeared together for the first – and what amounts to being the final head-to-head debate before March 8th’s special election ballot.
