Today's top stories from behind the Orange Curtain:
Carona Eyes U.S. Law for O.C. Problem -- OCR
For a change, the Sheriff gets a positive news article -- with only one quasi-hysterical quote from Amin David. Not bad for a story about using illegal alien criminals' immigration status against them.
OUSD Sizes Up Godley for Superintendent -- OCR
Why OUSD, of all places, is looking to promote from within is a mite puzzling. See the recent comments to my Blackout at OUSD post for more insight.
Great Park Board Will Set Agenda -- OCR
It's impossible not to be nervous about anything involving Larry Agran.
Judge Clears Way to La Habra Costco -- OCR
It's always nice to start your day with news of a defeat for NIMBYism.
Chris Vargas: The Sky Is Not Falling -- OCR Editorial Page
Mountain biking and outdoors activist examines the self-interested doomsday-ism of the environmental movement.

DA Indictment of Federal Agent Who Killed Rapper Imminent? -- OC Weekly
Nick Schou reports.
Great piece by Chris Vargas.
Reminds me of a few weeks ago when the Sierra Club and other environmental groups were in my office to lobby against my Crystal Cove/El Morro bills. I challenged them on being too anti-person. One of them then admitted that they only agreed to "allow" mountain biking by one vote last year at a meeting. Geez.

These reporters seem to be doing a pretty good job on this story, esp. with the background stuff. How come the district is only talking to one guy? This Godley character seems to have had trouble keeping a job.
This is typical: the reigning bureaucrat picks the heir apparent. But it can only happen when the elected reps resign their responsibility.
