Irvine Becomes Latest OC City To Adopt Controversial Agenda-Setting Policy

City council agendas
By Brandon Pho | July 11, 2019

The Irvine City Council, joining at least six other Orange County cities, has adopted a controversial temporary policy that potentially shuts some council members out of holding public discussions on issues that others on the dais don’t want.

Allies on Westminster Council Add to Their Power Over the Agenda

Westminster
By Brandon Pho | June 14, 2019

The Westminster City Council’s majority, following a raucous meeting, now can decide what issues can be discussed in public meetings, under a new policy that could consolidate council members’ power over political opponents and agenda-setting.

As of Sunday afternoon (Oct. 18), the OC Health Care Agency reports 196 new cases, 0 new deaths (1,409 cumulative) and 162 current hospitalizations (59 of those in ICU).

COMMUNITY OPINION »

  • Gladson: Neighborhood Partnerships Guide Growth, Insure Trust

    This Op-Ed responds to: Murphy: COVID Won’t Stop City’s Affordable Housing Efforts from 9/22/20. It focuses on the lack of authentic community participation under his leadership. That lack of transparency is further magnified due to Covid-19 barriers that limited public access during Council meetings. Many Orange residents and business owners are asking, when did the community become the enemy? Doesn’t our voice matter too?

  • McLaughlin: Greater Transparency is Needed on El Toro Plume Cleanup

    Water authorities have been cleaning up groundwater contamination at the El Toro air base. The Irvine Ranch Water District should make all the cleanup data available online in a timely manner. That way residents can trust that their drinking water is clean and safe.

  • Umberg: “At Long Last, Have You No Sense of Decency?” – Who Will Stop the Assault on Our Democracy?

    President Trump has made it clear that he will do everything in his power to hinder and undermine the United States Postal Service in its operation. The thin veneer for this action is that mail-in ballots increase the opportunities of fraud. The assertion is false, and the consequences are devastating.
