Yes we do think the school should have discretion based on type, amount of drugs & the students past record. Liberal justice explained, much better than conservative justice where the white student with expensive lawyer gets probation & community service while the black kid with no lawyer goes to jail.
I’ve already told you I read the law but not your article & I already replied to the law regarding misdemeanors.
I would not have to result to insults if you weren’t so dense, and what I keep hitting you over the head with is facts you can’t deny, not diversions. Here is an example of a diversion: Trying to make an issue of a law you had not read based on a biased article you read, trying to divert a failed conservative policy on guns.

Like most of the trolls, Techno will not apologize, admit he was wrong—or use a credible source. But coach? |

Hunter Biden committed a felony by lying on his firearm permit. Crickets.
Paul Pelosi blew a STOP sign and wrecked his Porsche and another vehicle while DUI. Not only crickets, but the mug shots and dash cam videos -- public property -- have been destroyed or concealed even from FOIA demands. This, after he killed his brother in a car crash in 1957, for which he also got ... crickets.
The present POTUS declared to the media that anyone who voices opinions different from -- or simply questions -- his party's policies is a domestic terrorist.
One-time Trump advisor Peter Navarro, despite having offered to come in and explain why he refused to comply with a subpoena on the grounds of executive privilege, was handcuffed and thrown in leg irons while boarding a plane.
It pays -- in every sense of the word except public respect -- to be a loyal Democrat. |

Oh, look who showed up in CA again in his RV eating a sandwich. It is Faux News number on fan proving again that you can fool some of people all of the time.
https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/nov/01/facebook-posts/post-says-rep-matt-gaetz-has-numerous-duis-wrong/
I guess you were fooled again into believing Gaetz was a Democrat. So gullible.

The indictment alleges that Navarro, when summoned to appear before the committee for a deposition, refused to do so and instead told the panel that because Trump had invoked executive privilege, “my hands are tied.”
After committee staff told him they believed there were topics he could discuss without raising any executive privilege concerns, Navarro again refused, directing the committee to negotiate directly with lawyers for Trump, according to the indictment. The committee went ahead with its scheduled deposition on March 2, but Navarro did not attend.

It also pays to be a loyal Republican. How many people did Trump pardon? |

| Quote: | California tries to pass the buck on Diablo Canyon
Opinion by Todd Snitchler -
In 2016, ceding to pressures from environmentalists and state regulations that prioritized renewables over nuclear and natural gas power, Pacific Gas & Electric announced the planned closure of the Diablo Canyon Power Plant, a nuclear facility that provides 18,000 GWh of electricity annually — about 10% of California’s electricity portfolio. These regulations made the plant economically unfeasible to operate, PG&E said, and targeted 2024 and 2025 to decommission its two remaining reactors.
Fast forward to 2022, California policymakers who put those regulations in place are changing their tune around nuclear power, a baseload zero-carbon source of electricity, and the proposed closure of Diablo Canyon.
The 180-degree turn on Diablo Canyon can be traced to the very policy choices that prioritized emission reductions on an arbitrary, accelerated timeline instead of ensuring a reliable transition, and the state’s powerful environmental interests are staunchly opposed to the facility. California is now struggling to provide a reliable supply of power to its citizens and grappling with multiple catastrophic wildfires each year that disrupt and damage infrastructure. Predictably, this about-face happened to coincide with the $1.7 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act that has the Newsom administration seeking a federally funded bailout for some of the state’s missteps over the past several years.
On May 23, Newsom Cabinet Secretary Ana Matosantos sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm requesting the $6 billion Civil Nuclear Credit Program under the IIJA expand its eligibility to Diablo Canyon so the plant could operate longer. The CNCP requires that eligible nuclear plants participate in competitive electricity markets, which Matosantos is pushing DOE to alter because PG&E is a regulated utility, not an independent power supplier. In addition, Matosantos is asking DOE to make funding available to nuclear plant owners who can’t pass operating losses to ratepayers and add grid reliability and decarbonization goals as considerations to extending plant operations.
To be clear, California is a competitive power market with its own RTO, the California Independent System Operator. While PG&E is indeed a regulated utility, it is also a participating member of the CAISO market. So, to sum up: California policymakers made choices that rendered nuclear power unfeasible in its market, struggled to supply its citizens with power due to those policy choices, and are now seeking federal tax dollars to fix this self-inflicted problem.
Instead of passing the buck to the rest of the country, the Golden State should stop pressuring DOE to change a new federal program to fit their needs and accommodate poor choices. California is more than capable of adjusting its market structure so that Diablo Canyon can operate economically without forcing out-of-state taxpayers, including the nearly 650,000 former California residents who left the state in 2020, to foot the bill.
California policymakers can allocate its own budget surplus, which has exceeded $68 billion, to keep Diablo Canyon operating in the short term, as it makes the right market adjustments for this facility — and others needed for reliability — to function. There is no justification for California, the world’s fifth-largest economy, to receive a federal bailout for its energy policies, especially with its coffers overflowing — much of it from COVID relief funds that America’s taxpayers are on the hook to pay.
To get its energy market in order, California must prioritize delivering reliability to its citizens instead of the current framework that focuses almost exclusively on emissions reduction and choosing preferred technologies. Unfortunately, states across the country, voluntarily or not, are adopting many of these same policies that hamper reliability and affordability in favor of arbitrary emissions reduction requirements, failing to learn the lessons of California and instead repeating those same mistakes. Reducing emissions is important, but it cannot come at the cost of reliability.
There is an easier path forward for all stakeholders in the energy transition. Competitive power markets have proven that prioritizing reliable and affordable energy can also achieve emissions reductions and air quality improvements. For example, the PJM Interconnection, which serves 65 million customers, reduced its carbon dioxide emissions by 39% from 2005 levels.
California policymakers could replicate this model and achieve their goal of reducing emissions while maintaining a reliable power system. However, that can’t happen if state leaders insist on adhering to policies that put the electric grid at risk.
Todd Snitchler is president and CEO of the Electric Power Supply Association. |

My dad worked at Hanford, where he helped develop the nuclear technology. Another good friend ran the California Public Utility Commission when the Diablo Canyon power plant was put into the rate base. People like Techno have opinions based on propaganda, and are more motivated by a desire to "own the libs" than to understand the complicated world. Opposed to ending subsidies for big oil, opposed to subsidies that might lead to a cleaner environment, and all in on the biggest subsidies of all--those for nuclear power.
Thinking about him educating kids to not think things through is truly depressing. |

Mac, it you have a gripe, it's with: Todd Snitchler is president and CEO of the Electric Power Supply Association.
If you have an issue with what he said, please share. |
