Why Correa voted against the single payer health care bill

Posted on January 31, 2010 by Editor Posted in California, Democratic Party, Health and Medical, Lou Correa, Santa Ana Leave a comment

State Senator Lou Correa habitually does what he thinks is right for his constituents. This week that happened again when Correa proved to be the only Democratic State Senator to vote against an ill-conceived single payer health care bill sponsored by Senator Mark Leno (D, San Francisco).

According to Cal Watch Dog, Correa himself said that in his district, his focus is “jobs, jobs, jobs, and not some bill without details. I do believe we need health care reform in this state, but this is not it.” Correa said his frustration is the “cost of the bill” — an estimated $200 billion – and he doesn’t “have a real clear read on the cost or detail of the bill.”

The County of Orange appears to be negotiating to move into One Broadway Plaza

Posted on January 26, 2010 by Editor Posted in Business, Civic Affairs, Development, Janet Nguyen, Neighborhood Associations, Orange County, Real Estate, Redevelopment, Santa Ana 8 Comments

One Broadway Plaza

One Broadway Plaza has surfaced on today’s County agenda under a supplemental portion. It appears the County of Orange is negotiating (or considering such) with developer Mike Harrah regarding One Broadway Plaza, or OBP.

The City of Santa Ana put OBP on the ballot a few years ago after residents complained about what was supposed to be the biggest office tower in Orange County, at 500 feet, going up right in our downtown area. The voters passed the measure, but the tower was never built.

OBP is supposed to be built 4 blocks west of French Park amid the several charter schools around Tenth and Broadway. The French Park Neighborhood remains deeply concerned about traffic and the lack of requirements on the project to mitigate such.

Local resident and community activist Jeff DIckman is asking residents to “consider contacting your Supervisor, in this case Janet Nguyen of the First District (or all if you like), to express your opinion.” She can be emailed: janet.nguyen@ocgov.com. Nguyen is also the Chairman of the Board. Continue reading→
