Wu: Endorsements have started to roll in
So we are more than a month from E-Day, one of the more pivotal dates in recent Costa Mesa history. Will status quo rule the day?

Wu: Rest in peace, my friend
Goodbye, Mr. Fuentes. I apologize in advance for this, if it does not make sense, as I have not been able to put through one coherent thought.

Wu: Why did caller tell 911 he was meeting a friend?
In celebration of Labor Day, I wanted to take a look at Costa Mess' (Mesa's) favorite union operative Chris Lanzillo and the Costa Mesa Police Assn.'s (CMPA) timing in the Mayor Pro Tem Jim Righeimer/DUI debacle.
