After meeting with State Sen. Tom Harman Tuesday, Caltrans Director Will Kempton ordered the delay — one day before bidding closed on the property — in order to study the sale of the site.

Betsy's Comment: The public is not aware of all the details of this land sale. I continue to get emails and calls from people saying they would buy this land for $18,000 in a heartbeat. I would, too, if I could. But, by the city threatening to zone it as "open space" it limits the bidders to other government agencies, such as county parks or other cities. The parks department have told me the land has been so beaten down by all the truck and foot traffic that it would be almost impossible to restore it to wilderness. The state already owns it, so that only leaves the city of Laguna Beach to bid on it. The public is NOT allowed to bid on this land. This is what's called "discriminatory zoning" and it's illegal.

Originally published in 1994. The prosecution today dropped an arson charge against a Mexican immigrant accused of setting the fire that destroyed at least 365 houses and businesses in Laguna Beach, Calif., last fall.

Betsy's Comment: This story continues to baffle me. Although I was not living in Laguna Beach in the 1990s, I continue to hear stories that the great fire was started by an illegal at a migrant camp. Considering that Ken Frank, city manager, has announced that there are migrant camps even today in our hills and canyons, that more police or elected officials would take notice.

Another misinformed, misguided, and misleading Cindy Frazier editorial.

Betsy's Comment: This editorial was quite likely written by Cindy Frazier, the city editor for this driveway litter newspaper. She once again distorts the facts and twists an elected officials words to fit her own agenda.

Episcopalians passionately debated whether they should "resist legislation and actions that violate our fundamental beliefs as Christians."
Washington Times: Jan 27, 08 Read More
Betsy's Comment: Laguna Beach's St. Mary's Episcopal church is deeply involved with the day labor site. At one time all the cash coming from the DLS went through their church and the books were kept there. Also keep in mind that John McCain is Episcopalian. They believe illegal immigration is God's will.
