Briceño: Amid National and State Successes, Orange County’s Victories Stand Strong

Community Opinion
By Ada Briceño | June 23, 2020

Orange County is celebrating Supreme Court, state legislative and local school district victories for Black lives, LGBTQ lives, immigrants and public health. DNC Member-Elect and Democratic Party of Orange County Chair Ada Briceño says these victories are crucial, but we’re far from done.

As of Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 21), the OC Health Care Agency reports 262 new cases, 11 new deaths (1,423 cumulative) and 174 current hospitalizations (66 of those in ICU).

  • Dobken: Misleading Readers About Spent Nuclear Fuel Serves No Purpose

    Securing a long-term solution to spent nuclear fuel storage has proved daunting in the U.S. Making the task more difficult is the amount of misinformation put forward by some regarding the nature of spent nuclear fuel and its storage. John Dobken, San Onofre nuclear plant public information officer, argues for a science and fact-based discussion of the issue.

  • Kriz: A terrible month, 32 Homeless Dead in September, Last Year There Were 10

    Thirty two people “without fixed abode,” homeless, died in Orange County in September, 2020, last year there were 10. One of those who died last month was shot by police while jaywalking, and Operation Roomkey is shutting down, sending 500 homeless back to shelters or back onto the streets. Yet in the midst of this darkness there has been some light, some discussion about next steps. What the County needs, however, is much more than a few photons of hope.
