Irvine Mayor and 3 Members of City Council Break Their Promise to Veterans & Irvine Residents
After hearing hours of testimony from Irvine residents at the June 22nd City Council meeting, the Council — led by Mayor Farrah Khan — refused to vote for a plan to move forward with a State Veterans Memorial Park in Irvine. (Councilmember Agran was the only member of the Council to support the City moving forward.)
Just three months ago, at the March 23rd City Council meeting, Mayor Khan publicly stated: “Honoring our veterans is a top priority. We are in a unique position as a City to actually get this done. I see it happening in May or June….We are all committed to making this happen! ”
