For those who arrived on this page by pure accident I advise you to view my home page by clicking HOME so you can know a little more about me.

Let's Save California Taxpayers $500,000,000 Per Year! (Yes, a half billion!)

I think Californian's can easily save $500M per year by modifying the overly complicated California income tax code.

Why Must California Be Different?

This is an article I wrote for the Board for Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors, and Geologists when I was Board President in 2005. It still holds true today.

The Bridge So Far - A Suspense Story

This video titled "The Bridge So Far" was funded and produced by the Professional Engineers in California Government (PECG). It is about 55 minutes long but well worth the investment of your time. To the best of my knowledge, this is the only documented history of the evolution of the new San Francisco Oakland Bay Bridge - SFOBB. I am working on this project. This is a bridge that was designed by politicians and constructed by attorneys - you decide.
