• Supervise the Supervisors-Stop the Toll Road

  On Feb. 28, the OC Board of Supervisors will consider adopting a resolution to support the Transportation Corridor Agencies' Foothill-South (241) extension. The motion was put forth by Supervisor Bill Campbell at the Board's Feb. 7 meeting (item 32 on the agenda). No doubt this is meant to trump the adoption by three local city councils (Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach, Oceanside) of resolutions opposing the road. Unfortunately for TCA and the BOS, the State legislature has its own deck of trump card

• Got a Minute for a State Park?

  10News San Diego is my hero of the day. On April 9-10 they aired an editorial on the proposed Foothill-South (241) toll road extension. The station's vice president and general manager Derek Dalton speaks for just over sixty seconds on the Transportation Corridor Agencies' plan, the Attorney General's opposition along with environmental groups, and the station's support. Dalton: Nice opinions, nice tie He refers to the fast-moving, traffic-free road below him as the 5 freeway, which doesn't ap

• San Diego: Screw Trestles

  San Diego has no business in San Diego County. At least, that's what their City Council seems to think. In our Best "Best of OC" Issue yet, Dave Wielenga eloquently described one of the major problems with the Save Trestles campaign: apathy. Surfers and the surf industry pay lip service to their beloved "Yosemite of Surfing," but at the end of the day they're more interested in hitting the beach than working to change public policy. It's no wonder that policy-makers have a tendency to marginali

• Uni Cycles

  A question I often get asked is, "How come you have so many right-wing friends?" I don't have that many, but since almost all of them are bloggers and media folk, the ones I do have are quite visible. The short answer is that I decided whether or not to like them long before I knew their voting preferences. The long answer invariably comes back to Cathy Seipp. Seipp, who recently lost her long battle with lung cancer, was a member of the Los Angeles Press Club, and a frequent organizer of gathe

• One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indian Rifts at Bolsa Chica

  For Chief Anthony Morales of the Gabrielino-Tongva Band of Mission Indians, his long fight for the dignified treatment of Native American remains unearthed on the mesa overlooking the Bolsa Chica wetlands may finally be coming to an end. Healing a rift with rivals from the Juaneño Band of Mission Indians, Acjachemen Nation, will likely take much longer.  Addressing the California Coastal Commission meeting Thursday at Huntington Beach City Hall, Morales revealed that Hearthside Ho
