Place your Super Bowl bets accordingly

Is there really any reason for California to deny its residents opportunities to legally bet on sports?

After several years of lobbying and untold millions spent, the SEIU in California is still lacking the one “win” that matters to its leadership: New dues-paying members.

That kind of tit-for-tat is the wrong way to run a republic.

This is no time for political games, especially given the inclusion of GOP priorities in the bill.
