Wu: Newport's district elections are puzzling
Referring to IRS laws and regulations, the senior partner in my former accounting firm once told me that you complicate to deceive, simplify to tell the truth. Keep that in mind. On July 16, anyone who wants to run for one of the three seats on the...Tags: Allergan Inc., Elections, Politics, Allan R. Mansoor, Republican Party

Wu: Sanitary district case built on old grudges
Newport Beach-centric issues are in my wheelhouse. The $150-million symbol of government decadence (new Civic Center), the $2-million Bridge to Nowhere, or the Newport Beach City Council. If you ask me any of those issues, I'll have an opinion. But if...Tags: Judges, Crime, Law and Justice, Justice System, Orange County Superior Court, Board of Directors

Mailbag: Rohrabacher is a good man
I highly disfavor Michael Miller's recent political hit-column on the character and reputation of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher.

Mailbag: Deed doesn't allow for-profit use of TeWinkle Park
Re. "City to study park plan," April 7: Your story on privatization of TeWinkle Park left out an important fact: The land is deed-restricted, and the proposed privatization would likely result in forfeiture of the entire park, including any improvements,...Tags: Government, Company Privatization, Politics, Privatization

Mailbag: No more excuses from our leaders
The article "Water official targeted" (March 29) centers not only on alleged improprieties by John Foley, the board chairman of Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, but also upon the broad topic of conflict of interest.

Mailbag: Newport city officials offended everyone
Your April 6 story, "Owners speak out against harbor rent increase," did not really reflect the seething anger in the Newport Beach City Council Chambers over an unbridled attempt to increase the city's revenue. The reason: The attendees were too... -
