Plans for Advancing Dana Point Harbor Revitalization

The Board of Supervisors will soon consider implementation of the Dana Point Harbor Revitalization Plan, which entails the County’s initiation of infrastructure improvements while concurrently soliciting for a public-private partnership to support the successful redevelopment of Dana Point Harbor, Board of Supervisors Vice Chair Lisa Bartlett announced today.

A Request for Qualifications for a public-private partnership—known as a P3—is expected to be brought before the Board of Supervisors within the next four months. That process would be followed by a formal Request for Proposals from firms determined to be qualified for such a high-profile county project. OC Public Works has completed design of the initial phases of the project. Continue reading→

Alan Wickstrom

Dana Point City Council candidate Alan Wickstrom has been accused of being involved with online porn. One of our readers sent us a full color postcard about this that she found on her car. The allegations are pretty bizarre. But I did look up one of the naughty Internet addresses in question, www.hotinternetsupermodel.com, to see who owns it. While the WhoIs directory doesn’t name the owner, it provides this address: 24681 La Plaza, in Dana Point. That is the address Wickstrom is using for his City Council campaign, according to his campaign website.

While the website is no longer functioning, Wickstrom’s wife does mention it on her Twitter page as seen below. Continue reading→

Bill Brough

The Republican nominee for the 73rd Assembly District, Bill Brough, won the lottery in June. Well not really but he practically did by edging out a crowded field of Republicans who included Jesse Petrilla and Anna Bryson.

The 73rd A.D. is a red district – the Democrats don’t have a great shot at winning it. But that didn’t stop Brough and his campaign from making a very chump move this week.

Brough’s Democratic opponent, Wendy Gabriella, a professor at Irvine Valley College, went to a lot of trouble to book a campaign reception at a restaurant called Stillwater, in Dana Point. The event was slated for Sep. 14. Everything was set to go and the invitations had gone out to Gabriella’s supporters when all of a sudden the management at Stillwater canceled the event – making up some ridiculous excuse about a cooler going down.
