Wu: Measure doesn't need to hit the ballot
We, the people, elect our leaders, our City Council members, to make decisions on our behalf.

Wu: Politics is getting in the way of business
Ever since I wrote about Bob McCaffrey's Stop the Dock Tax Political Action Committee, I have been pretty busy meeting with the different commercial docks owners ("Dock tax opponents form a strong PAC," July 8).

Wu: I hope the state keeps CdM fire pits burning
Most Newport Beach City Council members usually don't react to my columns, at least to me or to my editor. I write, I poke, and I criticize the "republicans" (small r), and I mostly get called a bad writer, a bad person and someone who needs to visit the...Tags: Republican Party

Wu: The privilege of paying a fee, I mean a tax
The Newport Beach City Council just unanimously approved a new "fee" for donors amounting to 10% of the item's value.

Wu: Dock tax opponents form a well-funded PAC
I've been hearing rumblings about this for years, and in the midst of the 2012 tax season, I started getting the telephone calls asking me to write about it.

Wu: TJ Fuentes is a chip off an amazing block
TJ Fuentes. Remember that name. By the time Thomas A. "Tom" Fuentes was 25, he was the chief of staff for an Orange County supervisor.
