1945 - Actors Harry & Olive Carey sell Saugus ranch after 29 years; now Tesoro del Valle [story]
Carey Ranch


dmv_newsStarting Friday, January 2, 2015, the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will begin issuing driver licenses under AB 60—the new law requiring DMV to issue a driver license to applicants who can prove identity and California residency, and meet all other licensing requirements, such as passing the driver license knowledge and behind-the-wheel driving exams.

“DMV is committed is successfully implementing this new law to increase safety on California roads by putting licensed drivers behind the steering wheel,” said DMV Director Jean Shiomoto. “Californians planning to apply for a new driver license under AB 60 should study for their exams and gather the required documents for proving identity and residency.”

DMV anticipates processing approximately 1.4 million additional driver license applications during the first three years after implementation of AB 60. DMV is hard at work to successfully implement AB 60 and maintain excellent customer service for all Californians. Since the law passed last year, DMV has:

* Participated in nearly 200 public workshops and community meetings, reaching approximately 50,000 potential applicants

* Saturday office hours by appointment for all new driver license applicants at 60 DMV offices starting Saturday, January 3, 2015

* Doubled the standard 45-day window to allow customers to schedule DMV appointments up to 90 days in advance

* Opened four driver license processing centers to increase capacity and process first time driver license applicants by appointment or walk-in service

* Hired 900 employees to ensure the same level of excellent customer service

Before AB 60, state law required motorists to prove identity and legal presence to obtain a driver license. Under the new law, motorists who cannot prove legal presence may obtain a license, but must prove identity and California residency — and pass the required vision test, driver license knowledge test, and the behind-the-wheel drive test—to obtain a driver license. The list of documents that applicants will use to prove identity and residence is available here: ab60.dmv.ca.gov. For more information on AB 60, including sample interactive tests, webcasts, and information about how to obtain a new driver license, visit: ab60.dmv.ca.gov

  16. Hope they use it to deport them all lol

  17. Read it and weep, bigots.

  18. I don’t understand what the big deal is. They’re getting insurance with their foreigner licenses anyways. This is so much better because they can be tracked down if anything happens like a hit and run. Also, most of them are insured with just an Id from their own country which aren’t even drivers licenses. It’s better for the economy and to keep all of us safe incase of a hit and run. They’re driving anyhow! #StopHating

  19. Nothing is going to change other than it will make an illegal person who is breaking our law being here get benefits from taxpayers to the tune of eight billion dollars. This is to do one thing secure Democrat votes. They have a drivers Licence and a EBT card. Why vote Republican? This is the biggest political farce at the expense tom taxpayers in this
    States history. These New Democrat votes can do a lot of damage. All of these people living off of the
    Government the Democrats may get enough votes to vote out Prop. 13.

    Hahahaah some people are just plain ignorant, Did you all know that in order to keep your license you must have prove of insurance duhhhh…
    Why would any undocumented person with a chance to have a legit drivers license be dumb not to pay for insurance coverage and have their privilege taken away. Think people.

  22. Dave Francis says:

    UNLESS THE PEOPLE MAKE THEIR VOICE KNOWN, 5 MILLION OR MORE ILLEGAL ALIENS WILL BE GRANTED AMNESTY. IN SECRET IT SEEMS THAT THE REPUBLICAN CAREER POLITICIANS COULD BE MAKING A DEAL WITH THE DEMOCRATS AND RADICAL LIBERALS.

    I took a chance of publishing this extract article from Conservative HQ, As it has serious connotations for the future of the 91 Million Americans seeking work or underemployed concerning that my suspicion may be accurate that stealthily the Republican Establishment are lying about blocking King Obama’s illegal executive directive amnesty.

    Recently, a friend Matt Boyle of Breitbart asked Conservative HQ what we thought the prospects are for the new Congress actually taking up the fight against Obama’s unconstitutional executive amnesty. We will share our answer, but first a little background.

    We have noted ever since Speaker Boehner and soon-to-be-former Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid cut a deal to pass the 1.1 Trillion CRomnibus, and continue funding the federal government at or above Obama levels for the nine month of this fiscal year, that we were skeptical that the new Republican congressional leaders would actually fight, let alone stop, Obama’s unconstitutional attempt to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

    John McCain, Senator of Arizona as the longtime Republican senator lays the groundwork for a likely 2016 reelection bid, his political team is engaging in an antagonistic and methodical campaign to reshape the state GOP apparatus by ridding conservative firebrands, containing a Tea Party leadership and replacing them with persistent allies. Of course this happening in Arizona, but should we be suspecting that behind closed doors that the GOP is ready to support an all out war against the ONLY chance the Average American has to block the hundred billion dollar illegal alien amnesty.

    One must also wonder is a day of reckoning coming for House Speaker John Boehner for its known that very powerful people behind the scenes are demoralized by him. Trey Gowdy a very controversial lawmaker has his eye on the leadership of the house, thus removing the cowardly current direction. Sean Hannity of Fox News reputation in an email told Breitbart News.

    “The American people need bold inspiring solutions to reverse the damaging policies of the President and his party. This is not a time for half measures. It’s time for new dynamic leadership in the House of Representatives. Trey Gowdy is my choice for speaker. He has the ability to articulate and implement the changes needed to get the country on the right path. Gowdy has a plan to balance the budget, secure the borders, push for energy independence and replace Obamacare with personal healthcare savings accounts. John Boehner has snubbed and ignored conservatives for too long, as evidenced by the recent cromnibus budget deal he made with Obama, Reid and Hoyer. It’s time that he steps aside for the good of country and the conservative movement.”

    As we observed yesterday in our article “Sen. Johnson Provides Evidence Capitol Hill GOP Leaders are OK with Obama’s Amnesty” there’s plenty of evidence that the GOP establishment has no intention of fighting, let alone stopping, Obama’s amnesty.

    Revealingly left unsaid was what was in the Capitol Hill Republican half of the bargain, but Senator Johnson nowhere mentioned stopping or rolling back Obama’s unconstitutional attempt to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

    Conservative Review’s senior editor Daniel Horowitz has also been reading the trail signs and is skeptical that the new Capitol Hill Republican leadership have any commitment to fighting, let alone stopping, Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty for illegal aliens.

    In his article “5 Reasons We Can’t Wait to Fight Obama’s Amnesty” Horowitz reminds us that, “Not only do Boehner and McConnell oppose any form of defund on any issue for risk of a shutdown, on immigration they downright support Obama’s action. They all support amnesty. Boehner told his conference that he told Obama “do what you gotta do.” Valerie Jarrett said that Boehner told Obama to simply wait until after the primaries were over to enact amnesty. If you believe that Boehner will effectively fight this next year, you shouldn’t be serving in Congress…”

    Boyle laid out a scenario in which the Capitol Hill Republican leadership engages in the same kind of three part strategy they have used in the past to try to cover their tracks on other issues where they shared Obama’s goals.

    First, a deceiving pantomime vote purporting to defund or block Obama’s amnesty.

    Second, stripping the defunding from the bill in the name of passing other legislation that they know Obama will never implement and they will never act to enforce, such as enhanced border security.

    Third, rewarding their corporate paymasters in the cheap labor wing of the US Chamber of Commerce with more spending, visas for foreign “techno-coolies” and agricultural workers, and relaxing the penalties for immigration violations.

    To that scenario our response to Matt Boyle was “Looking at what the Republican Party’s Capitol Hill leaders did in the CRomnibus it’s hard for conservatives to figure out who’s worse: Obama or the GOP leaders who apparently plan to overturn the results of the 2014 midterms by allowing the president’s unconstitutional amnesty to stand and, adding insult to injury, passing the U.S. Chamber of Commerce wish list of more spending and more visas to displace American workers.”

    The new Congress will be sworn in on January 6, 2015, we urge you to call your Representative and Senators that morning to tell them to stop Obama’s unconstitutional amnesty. The Capitol Switchboard number is 1-866-220-0044, we urge you not to let up for one day in the push to stop Obama’s amnesty and what we see is the growing likelihood of a Republican leadership cave-in.

    Mark Levin didn’t mention a replacement, but offered these comments on Facebook:
    “GOP establishment is a disastrous mess. Clean them out. Time for new leaders with conservative principles.”

    “Boehner needs to go . . .”

    THE TEA PARTY needs you—America’s grassroots army—to keep going and continue the fight in Washington. YOU SHOULD WANT TO PURSUE EVERY SENATOR AND CONGRESSMAN and bomb the phone Numbers and Mailing Addresses of Members of Congress at any of the websites that offer this opportunity. Liberal, Democratic or staunch Republican sites will no let me broadcast my TEA PARTY thought and opinions, so I cannot offer you a click easy way to get to current anti-illegal websites.

    Every American is urged to pick-up the phone. US Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121; (the toll free number is 1- 866-220-0044) and join other conservatives who are committed to flood the phone lines on Capitol Hill with this simple message.’ IGNORE THE PEOPLE AT YOUR OWN PERIL.’ A very reliable website designed for those against illegal immigration is Americans for Legal Immigration PAC is alipac or numbersusa. The newest revolution in unbiased news is from the cable TV network is called ‘One American News Network.’ This is Real 24 hour news without political party leanings.

    I have learned that many radical Liberal Progressive Zealots that call themselves unbiased webmasters are either banning me or erasing my activity because the don’t like the truth or they are trying veil information from the public.

    PS: As for Drivers licenses and as I understand it insurance subsidies paid for California taxpayers, all I see from illiterate, illegal aliens is massive gridlock on the highways, more accidents, DUI’s, more citizen deaths and hit and runs with the criminals absconding across the Southern border. God help the American driver.

The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.
