When it Comes to Vaccines, We Need Bold Leadership!

After the previous Council missed their opportunity to get COVID-19 under control here in Irvine, I had hoped that our City’s new Mayor and Council would demonstrate bold leadership. So far, that has not been the case.

The human costs of COVID-19 continue to grow at a horrific rate. In fact, January was the deadliest month on record since the pandemic began. We are in the midst of a public health crisis! We must do everything in our power to save lives.

COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout Isn’t Rolling!

The COVID-19 vaccine rollout has not been rolling, even for our critical health care workers who were supposed to have been vaccinated by this point.

Since receiving the initial doses in December, by late January only one-third of the available 1.3 million vaccines in California had been administered. That’s unacceptable!

What we need right now are elected leaders who we can count on to take swift action to immediately establish a robust vaccination program.

Political “Bait-and-Switch” Alive and Well in Irvine

The old political “bait-and-switch” seems to be alive and well in Irvine. Say one thing to get yourself elected, and then do another thing after you’re elected.

Newly elected Mayor Farrah Khan and Councilmember Tammy Kim seem to be the latest practitioners of the bait-and-switch in our City.

Happy New Year! Let’s Make it a Good One!

The beginning of a new year offers a fresh start. On the COVID-19 front, the challenge for 2021 will be getting life-saving vaccines into the arms of Irvine residents. So far, Orange County and Irvine are off to a slow start. But we look for City Council leadership in the weeks ahead to dramatically accelerate vaccinations in Irvine.

2021 promises to be the year that construction begins — by this Spring — for our long-promised Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery on the originally-approved 125-acre “ARDA” site at the Great Park.
