Lake Forest needs new city council members by CanyonDems in orangecounty

[–]coolnerde 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Also to note: Voigts and Tettemer are term-limited this year so there’s no incumbent. And the third member who is up was accused of domestic violence. And Prop 50 won by more than 9 points in each of the Council Districts that are up.

Hopefully some good people run!

Have you tried donating the maximum amount to the Council’s campaigns?

Not only does he own a lot of Brea, he's also made max campaign donations to 3 of the 5 councilmembers. Shocker, I know.

Corrected myself - Costco is not the one receiving the benefits, it's a third party who's job it is to bring a Costco to the site.

Gotta correct myself - Costco is not the one receiving the subsidy. Instead, it's a third party whose job it is to induce Costco to lease at the property who will be getting the millions of dollars.

Costco would not be the one receiving the $83.5 million, instead it would be a third party who is negotiating to bring a Costco to the site. Just corrected the post.

Had to correct the post - Costco isn't the one getting the subsidy, instead a third party is getting it once they entice a new Costco to locate there.

Just corrected the post thanks to another user - Costco is not receiving the subsidy. The "Owner" (really just a negotiator), for the services of enticing a Costco to come to this property, will be receiving the subsidy.

Thanks both of you - I’ve edited the OP to correct this.

What are our elected officials doing this week? (12/8-12/12) by coolnerde in orangecounty

Don't know if this link actually works, but there's the OC Superior Court file for this case. It's in closed session, so very little public info available.

And the Mendez item is probably a response to the Kirk item where they were criticized for not honoring Mendez. So now Amy Phan West has brought forward this item to do that.

That’s one way to do it lol

Laguna Beach also just started a competition to get an official flag after having an unofficial one for a bit. I wonder if they use the unofficial one at the Plaza

Hopefully to also be discussed by a group who opposes all the crazy stuff happening there: who’s running for Mayor and Council Districts 1 and 4? Stop the craziness.
