More than 2,500 Irvine residents have signed an online petition, demanding the City of Irvine address concerns raised by homeowners regarding the emissions from the All American Asphalt plant.  Beyond the noxious odors, there is growing evidence of adverse health effects from the plant’s toxic emissions.

During the 2020 City Council election campaign, now-Mayor Farrah Khan and now-Councilmember Tammy Kim promised Irvine voters that, if elected, they would use the power of the City to help the homeowners. However, since being sworn in to office, Khan and Kim have failed to deliver on that campaign promise.

After reviewing 150 nominations, Assemblywoman Cottie Petrie-Norris, whose district includes much of Irvine, has selected UCI Professor Barbara Finlayson-Pitts as Assembly District 74’s “Woman of the Year.”

Finlayson-Pitts is a Professor of Chemistry at UCI, who is also a researcher, mentor and community leader. She works on critical atmospheric research, and has authored/co-authored 180 scientific publications and two books on atmospheric chemistry.

Just minutes before the Council was scheduled to hear a report regarding the status of the Veterans Memorial Park, Mayor Khan publicly announced that the Council had received a letter from an attorney suggesting that Councilman Larry Agran had a possible conflict of interest and, therefore, shouldn’t be allowed to comment on the Veterans Cemetery.

Irvine Community News & Views has learned that the letter Khan referenced was sent by a disgraced attorney who is currently barred from practicing law in the state of California.

Last May, three members of the current City Council (now-Mayor Farrah Khan and Councilmembers Mike Carroll and Anthony Kuo) voted to adopt the citizens’ initiative, signed by 19,790 Irvine residents, which officially rezoned the ARDA site exclusively for the Veterans Memorial Park & Cemetery.

Khan, Carroll, and Kuo are now presenting a false narrative.  They are suggesting that the City Council can ignore last year’s Council vote, have the State conduct a $700,000 study, and then select a completely different site based on the results of that study.  The fact of the matter is, by law, they cannot do that.

Later this year — December 28th to be precise — the City of Irvine will turn 50!  For five decades, families have been planting roots and raising their kids in our beautiful city.

Through visionary leadership, Irvine quickly became recognized as one of the best planned communities in the nation. Our City continues to attract families who want to live here because of our award-winning schools, high-tech job market, beautiful parks, and our safe neighborhoods.
