Federal Judge Grants Temporary Win to Charter Jet Service Suing OC Over New John Wayne Airport Restrictions

John Wayne Airport
By Brandon Pho | January 5, 2021

A federal judge has preliminarily ruled that a John Wayne Airport charter jet service can continue flying people separate from other commercial airline terminals, which more often see larger crowds and longer check-ins.

As of Thursday evening, Jan. 21, the OC Health Care Agency reports 1,340 new cases, 38 new deaths (2,546 cumulative) and 1,935 current hospitalizations (517 of those in ICU). As of the weekly update on Sunday, Jan. 17, a total of 108,812 vaccination doses have been given (88,539 first doses and 20,272 second doses).

  • Ventura, Henderson and Tarallo: To the Executive Administration at Chapman University

    On January 13, John Eastman retired from Chapman University unscathed, after being put under fire for his involvement at the Capitol insurrection. President Daniele Struppa stated that Eastman’s retirement closed a “challenging chapter” for Chapman, but the university’s students think otherwise. In this open letter to the university executive administration, students from the Chapman Activist Coalition argue that Eastman is just one blip in the longstanding history of racism and inequality at Chapman University.

  • Kriz: Twenty Four People Died “Without Fixed Abode” in OC in December

    Twenty four people died “without fixed abode” in OC in December, for the first time since the beginning of the COVID-19 crisis like the year before. Yes, we may have been lucky. The December death toll among the homeless is almost always high in OC because of rain and we had almost none this year. Still progress in opening new homeless shelters is being made and the OC BOS may be signaling that it’s ready take-on this problem with the commitment needed to finally bring it to resolution.

  • Mundekis: When an STR is Opened, a Home is Lost and a Neighborhood is Harmed

    Short Term Rentals (STRs) are portrayed as harmless ways for property owners to make money. The harm starts when the STRs open and bring problems into neighborhoods. More harm is caused when residents are pushed out of homes to convert homes to STRs. Banning STRs eliminates these harms.
