The Mayor of Irvine has the power to set the agenda for City Council meetings — deciding what is put on the agenda … and when. 

Appointed Mayor Christina Shea appears to be using that power to stall and even shut down public investigation into Councilman Mike Carroll’s misuse of Irvine taxpayer funds for his own personal and political benefit.

Irvine Community News & Views (ICNV) recently sat down with Chair of the Build the Great Park Veterans Cemetery committee, Ed Pope. 

ICNV asked Ed to give our readers an update on the progress of the project.  He began on a positive note, saying, “The support from the community continues to be tremendous!  Scores of Irvine residents — teachers, students, nurses, local business owners, veterans, family members of veterans, and so many more — continue to reach out, asking how they can help.”

Irvine Vice Mayor, Mike Carroll is under investigation for allegedly misappropriating City of Irvine taxpayer funds for his own personal and political benefit.

Carroll finds himself at the center of a growing City Hall scandal involving the unauthorized expenditure of tens of thousands of dollars on mass mailings to Irvine residents, promoting the appointed Councilman and a series of town hall meetings.  The City Council never authorized the mass mailings.
