Loretta likes to affect this ditzy style, but anyone who pays attention can see that she really KNOWS a lot of stuff... unlike the cryptofascist bimbos named above.

Great interview

Great interview. I especially appreciate Hendrick's ability to support withdrawing troops from Afghanistan when his family is so enmeshed in the military. His thought processes are refreshingly logical.

Dear Mr. Lilyquist

Subject: Foot Note 7. In Opinion 93-1205, relied on a Fraudulent Letter, not a simple mistake?

As I have called out in my letter request for review to A. G. Brown. January 16, 2009. and now posted at www.newportcoastdrive.com [ and my exhibit's]

Rodney you wear gracious in coping the letter and writing "Ron I belive this is the letter we relied upon for foot note 7. Rod" Letter to Benjamin B. Nolan, Newport Beach Public Works Director, dated Feb, 13, 1974. from Charles Damm District Director, California Coastal Commission, CCC. [my exhibit 11] and MR. Damm stating "As such, we cannot assert jurisdiction based on the toll issue without a direct tie to the adopted provisions of either the Irvine Coast LCP and/or the coastal development permit. Our research shows no such tie."

In my letter to MR. Peter Douglas Executive Director CCC. October 18. 2009. Below & also posted at the bottom of page one in the above web site, [my exhibit's 12 & 13] showing two separate document's Mr. Charles Damm presented to CCC. Commissioners with his name on each as "South Coast District Director CCC". And [my exhibit 1] Irvine Coast Development Agreement. "EXHIBIT C Irvine Coast Local Coastal Plan Findings Of Approval And Supporting Documents" These documents call out & show by a Map photo LCP. Road Mitigation from PCH to MacArthur Boulevard.

The LCP. Road Mitigation is clearly called out again in the "Irvine Coast Development Agreement" Section D.page's D-9 & 10. "Previously Exacted Benefits "in the 1988 Local Coastal Program" at "D. Early construction of four lanes of pelican Hill Road from Pacific Coast Highway to MacArthur Boulevard"
Why were these: stated facts, photo road map overlay Findings not enforced at the Coastal Commission our in your Opinion. Will one of you enforce our laws buy correcting this Fraudulent Opinion 93-1205?

I request a copy of the Cover Letter to your Offices which gave you the fraudulent Damm Letter for your pending Opinion leading you away from enforcing the "LCP Road Mitigation Findings", The only relevant question from day one. under Public Records Act, 6250.

Also do you have a copy of the missing report by MS. Olivia Maiser [my exhibit 14 page 4] "Attendees" As a Special Assistant to Attorney General Dan Lungren. Pleas find additional information of her being the special guest of "Assemblyman" Gilbert Ferguson at the Pacific Club in N. B. December 9, 1993. and after presentations by: County of Orange Lawyer, TCA Lawyer from Nossaman LLP. and my rebuttal to there incorrect boiler plate sham words. Gilbert stood up and asked MS Maiser on the spot for an Opinion. [ my web site page 11. at (1) =] [exhibit 15] Ms Maiser of the Attorney Generals Office --- ---

I request a copy of hear report if you have it in your San Diego Offices or if you can find it else where. under Public Records Act, 6250. If lost or destroyed did you ever read it?

Thank You. Ron

Subject: Newport Coast Drive Tolling. Not called out in the Irvine Coast Development Agreement County of Orange June 9,1988. Exhibit C "Irvine Coast Local Coastal Plan Findings Of Approval And Supporting Documents" WHY ARE THE CCC FINDINGS NOT BEING FOLLOWED? or enforced by the your good offices?

Dear MR. Douglas,

(Note the first version of this letter to you dated October 4, 2009 is amended in this revised request by dropping the wording --"under the "Public Records Act". as referred to in your denial letter of October 14, 2009 by MS. Jessica Reed. Senior Legal Analyst. )

I am asking you to reply to my letter's to you of November 3, 2008, as now posted on my web site and the later March 9, 2009 letter to you pleas find a copy of this letter enclosed.

In my letter to our Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr. January 16, 2008 "Request for review of Opinion No. 93-1205 per information and documentation below". as found at www.newportcoastdrive.com [with my exhibits] Where I again make the point that the Road wright of way and the building of Newport Coast Drive from Pacific Coast Highway to MacArthur Boulevard was part of the Quid Pro Quo for a Coastal Development Permit, and called out in the "Exhibit C "Irvine Coast Local Coastal Plan Findings Of Approval And Supporting Documents"

The controlling argument for the original A. G. opinion of May 12, 1994. Should have been in following the callouts of: Exhibit C "Irvine Coast Local Coastal Plan Findings Of Approval And Supporting Documents. If not for a letter from Chuck Damm CCC. Long Beach letter, 1994; copied to me by Rodney Lilyquist A. G. office, wear MR. Damm makes this false statement of intent. "As I mentioned in our October 1st, letter . the portion of Newport Coast Drive where a toll is proposed is not in the Coastal Zone. As such. We cannot assert jurisdiction without a direct tie to the adopted provisions of either the Irvine Coast LCP and /or the coastal development permit. Our research shows no such tie" [my exhibit 11.]

I ask you and your good office, again to correct this false statement by MR. Damm to the Attorneys Generals office for his Opinion No. 93 - 1205. relying on my three exhibits below and other buttressing facts in my letter to the A. G. and site at. WWW.NEWPORTCOASTDRIVE.COM

[my exhibit 12] Memorandum December 4, 1987 To. Commissioners and interested Persons from Chuck Damm. Page 4, (see Exhibit 13 in the Executive Summary). [my exhibit 4] of the colored map road layout as proposed.

[my exhibit 13] CCC. Commissioners and Interested Persons. November 19, 1987. from Chuck Damm. Subject: County Of Orange Irvine Coast Segment Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan Amendment. More detail of the road as mitigation Page 22. (see Exhibit 13 in the Executive Summary). [my exhibit 4] of the colored map road layout as proposed.

[my exhibit 1] Irvine Coast Development Agreement County Of Orange, June 9, 1988. Exhibit C "Irvine Coast Local Coastal Plan Findings Of Approval And Supporting Documents" Page 22. (see Exhibit 13 in the Executive Summary). [my exhibit 4] of the colored map road layout as proposed.

Respectfully watching for your reply as the public has paid over sixty six million dollars in Tolls for using what was given as LCP. free public road mitigation. I am specifically asking you that the: CEQA, EIR and LCP. Findings, specified be followed as originally called out in June, 1988.

Sincerely,

Christmas

HananelynT — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 11:12:52 GMT

This Christmas is the winter season.So we really need to take care of ourselves. We all know that,Christmas is a joyous, festive occasion that so many look forward to. However, it's also creates a lot of waste, from wrapping, boxes, packaging, and then you have the tree itself. You don't have to add more to the local landfill because it's a holiday - any and all paper products are recyclable, so is cardboard, and trees can be donated to anyone that can use it for something, or turned into a dandy bonfire or firewood. Moreover, recycling is cheap if not free, no need to find the best personal loan rates, and it's good for the planet - so recycle your Christmas waste this year, and give a present to the Earth.

Thank you!

I appreciate the links but am afraid to click. It's heartbreaking to see the teachers and their union scapegoated for the district's money troubles. It's a travesty to say the least.

Big trouble in CUSD

southoc — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 17:35:56 GMT

There is sooo much more than this going on in the district. I have a child attending a CUSD school in RSM and have become more and more alarmed at what has transpired since the recall election and subsequent takeover of the board by right wing special intrest groups intent on busting the CUEA union and destroying the district. You can absolutely not rely on the OCRegister to obtain all of the facts about what is going on. I urge you to check out the following links:

BTW, I found this blog earlier in the year through the Irvinehousingblog and recognized you from reading some of your diaries at Dailykos. Glad to see you live in my neck of the woods!

Thanks, strike-out added

ocprogressive — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 11:31:39 GMT

I was being lazy and relying on a quote from the Register. What was I thinking? And Padilla isn't a source. I don't think I've every spoken to the man individually.

the one Fair Director who consistently gave all his free tickets to charity

p_progressive — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 21:46:28 GMT

While I appreciate your journalistic integrity, I must point out that the assertion "Dave Padilla, the one Fair Director who consistently gave all his free tickets to charity" is patently false. Unless you consider the typical OC politicos and business people "charity." Remember, these logs are on the Register and while I know you want to paint Mr. Padilla in a good light since he is your inside source, at least have the decency to be honest. Look at the list, it isn't any different than the rest of the board members.

The Fair Board Strikes Back!

Gericault — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 17:33:24 GMT

This was obviously an attempt to turn the tide of opinion.

Unfortunately , the facts don't align with the story they are trying to sell.

They did open up some info I have been waiting for. Who was at the secret meeting.

I had already surmised that Moorlach was in it up to his eyeballs. First, rat to jump off that ship.

I want to know if Costa Mesa'a Planning Commisioner, Jim Righeimer,was there passing out his cards and offering support.

The next stop on this issue is at the Cities Planning Commission Dec. 14th.

Even with all the City Councils support, have we been dealing with a "rogue" planning commissioner?

OC Fair Story? What Happened? Where Was OC Progressive?

techychic — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 09:11:28 GMT

I am also confused with what is happening about OC Progressive. I don't have any idea if things will still work out on this.

Lo siento, señorita Casasola, pero no fue mi intencion ofender...

Sra. Sanchez es una legisladora distinguida y progresista; tambien ella tiene un sentido del humor, y poca coqueta. Y tambien, trato de entretener in mi escritura, es mejor asi. Pero tengo todo respeto para su activismo. Su compadre Vern.

Reply and Up Date. NEWPORT COAST DRIVE TOLL

otrkennedy@aol.com — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:51:32 GMT

Greetings Nodozer: the Irvine Coast LCP Development Agreement was approved first It is a legal Contract giving the Public Coastal LCP Road Mitigation, Newport Coast Drive from PCH to MacArthur Blvd. It is a Public free road easement. Below is a up date on trying to have the California Coastal Commission correct there mistake to the Attorney Generals Office at the time of there Opinion.

NEWPORT COAST DRIVE TOLL: dubious,suspicious,farfetched,fishy

Greetings: How far will the cover up go in the tolling of Click here: Newport Coast Drive ? New letter out to California Coastal Commission CCC. At bottom of page 1. October 18 2009.
Question will our A. G. Brown's office continue to look the other way if CCC Peter Douglas confirms MR Chuck Damm, South Coast District Director of CCC long Beach made false written statement which the A. G. Office relied on in there Opinion that there was no. Coastal Mitigation "LCP Findings" issue to resolve which allowed the tolling of Newport Coast Drive by the TCA Toll Road Agency?
Your letters to MR. Peter Douglas asking for the false information given the A G to be corrected will then require the suspension of tolls on Newport Coast Drive and all tolls to date to be returned to the Public in some form. I lobby for the body of the funds to go to Crystal Cove State Park restoration & bilding fund. Thank you Ron

Why do you write for a "progressive" blog?

gredma — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 05:36:38 GMT

You kind of doubt it?
Look, you insensitive elitist, I am a 21 yr old Latina recently engaged in Democratic activism. I could care about your "insider" opinion of what Loretta thinks, but could you respect your female readers? You know, Mr. Vern Nelson, only occasionally do girls like me have the joy of finding a Latina in high office to look up to as a role model or an example. Please do not demean it.
Very openly and sincerely (with no LOL's about it),
Gredma Casasola.

Vern Nelson — Mon, 30 Nov 2009 02:48:27 GMT

LOL. I'll change that if Loretta is insulted. I kind of doubt it.
