Time for another Texas vs. California update:
CalPERS decides commoners are unworthy of knowing what their betters in the California state retiree system get paid.
New California law to shield pedophiles in teacher’s unions in California each year, seven to eight times as much sexual misconduct takes place in public schools as in the Catholic Church.
I’ve often thought Texas would consider doing this: Nevada gives mentally ill tickets to California.
You know all those pieces on how “California is back?” Yeah, not so much.
Because other states just aren’t getting enough businesses fleeing California, they’re moving to hike the minimum wage again.
Sacramento Convention Center loses $218 million over 14 years.
California bends over backwards to prevent jailed illegal aliens from being deported.
What it’s like living in bankrupt Stockton: “Anderson called the police recently after a boy was shot riding his bike down the alley that runs alongside her home. It took them four hours to show up.”
Judge rejects CalPERS, allows San Bernardino’s bankruptcy to proceed. Naturally CalPERS is incensed that their golden pension goose could be cooked along with everyone else.
California toll road agency misses overly optimistic projections, may have to declare bankruptcy. “The Foothill-Eastern Transportation Corridor Agency, which operates 39 miles (63 kilometers) of toll highways in Orange County, risks default on $2.4 billion in debt.”
Rick Perry goes fishing for new businesses to relocate to Texas in Maryland.
Also Missouri, where the Democratic governor just vetoed a tax cut.

I don’t cover the gun scene nearly as much as I should, but there are several stories percolating throughout the gun community this week I thought were worth taking a look at:
In Virginia: More guns, less crime.
Want to read the gun-grabbers messaging playbook? Here it is. Additional commentary from Shall Not Be Questioned and The Gunmag.
This week in Astroturf liberal groups pretending they’re gun groups: The American Rifle and Pistol Association, The Sporting Rifle Association of America, and the American Hunters and Shooters Association.
Alphecca: “If Zimmerman had been pulled over in NY, NJ, MD, CA, or almost anywhere other than the great state of Texas, he’d be in jail on some trumped-up charges. Fortunately, it was Texas.”
Translating anti-gun gibberish into plain English. (Also via Alphecca.)
Maryland joins the parade of stupid (and unconstitutional) gun law states.
When a criminal assailant is beating your brains out, it’s no time to fret over being better armed. (Hat tip: Stuff from Hsoi.)
Borepatch covers a session on the Defense Distributed Liberator pistol at DEFCON.
Reporter talks to people firing AR-15s, forgets to write usual anti-gun claptrap. “It’s just a tool.”
