Here’s the start of a great compilation of docs that discuss soon-to-be-former Irvine Councilman (and ex-Mayor and ex-Great Park Chairman) Larry Agran’s corruption, cronyism and malfeasance at Irvine’s Great Park: AgranAudit.com. Agran made over $200 million disappear.
The domain is registered by a proxy service, so it’s owner is unknown. H/T to Allan Bartlett and Al Tello.
Here are some of the resources available on the Agran Audit website:

“‘What is this $100,000 a month for Forde and Mollrich’? And they told me it was for public relations. And I said, ‘we’ve got to reduce that. I mean, that’s way too much. We’ve got to reduce that.’ And they literally laughed. I asked them ‘why are you laughing?’ [They replied], ‘Good luck on that.’”
“When I hear Larry Agran say that we are on time and on budget, I say shame on you, you just wasted $95 million in plans designing a project that will never get built. If that’s not waste, I don’t know what is.”
Colonel William Kogerman (40.7MB)“We had a saying among the insiders,” testified William Kogerman, a former Great Park board member and a retired Marine. “We never seem to have enough money to do it right, but we always have enough money to do it over.”
Brendan McDevitt, Project Manager (49.5MB)“One of their approaches to this is to negotiate the highest fixed fee and put the least expensive people on it so that the profit margin was higher. And they would deliver a product that didn’t satisfy, but they would claim that it did.”
Marsha Burgess (13MB)“in her view, the Forde and Mollrich contract ‘was excessive.”‘

Same with Sukhee Kang. He also has a website dedicated to him as well. http://www.sukheewatch.com
That’s funny. I don’t remember typing that.
Apparently someone is spoofing you! But perhaps what they were alluding to is the fact that Kang moved from Irvine to run for office in Fullerton – making him a real carpetbagger.
Besides Larry Agran, Sukhee Kang and Beth Krom helped him make $200 million disappear by directing taxpayers’ to political consultants in the form of no bid, fixed fee contracts to evade audit and scrutiny. Don’t forget that Sukhee Kang is a perpetual candidate who always run for office every election year. Back in 2014, Sukhee tried to make a comeback to Irvine city council but he withdrew earlier before the election. That campaign website for city council can be seen at http://www.sukheekang.net and to know about his aborted run, http://www.sukheewatch.com/2015/12/the-perpetual-candidate/ .
