Wu: What if we outsourced police, fire?
When I was a kid, one of my favorite comic books was "What If … "What If Phoenix Had Not Died?"?" If you remember the movie "X-Men: The Last Stand" (2006), you might recall that Jean Grey/Phoenix (Famke Janssen) dies in the end. The comic book...Tags: Orange County Register, Economy, Business and Finance, Politics, Budgets and Budgeting, Republican Party

Wu: Out-of-town donations are pretty common
Palo Alto physicist Charles Munger Jr. has jumped into the 74th District Assembly race. Not as a candidate.

Wu: Sanitary district case built on old grudges
Newport Beach-centric issues are in my wheelhouse. The $150-million symbol of government decadence (new Civic Center), the $2-million Bridge to Nowhere, or the Newport Beach City Council. If you ask me any of those issues, I'll have an opinion. But if...Tags: Judges, Crime, Law and Justice, Politics, Justice System, Republican Party

Wu: Fire pit removal illustrates lack of conservatism [Corrected]
Who's a conservative? Let's start with a quote from President Reagan, whom many on the Newport Beach City Council claim they are fans of: "The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help.'" -----...Tags: Politics, Republican Party, Parties and Movements, Elections

Wu: Vote on bridge helps in Newport, hurts in Assembly race
Well then, last week's column criticizing the Newport Beach council's decision to remove the Corona del Mar fire rings got quite a reception. I think the only thing I wasn't attacked for was the Reagan quote. Even my attempt at sarcasm regarding the...Tags: Local Government, Orange County Register, Politics, Allan R. Mansoor, Periodicals

Mailbag: Rohrabacher is a good man
I highly disfavor Michael Miller's recent political hit-column on the character and reputation of Rep. Dana Rohrabacher. As a World War II veteran and longtime Orange County resident, I am deeply worried about the left-wing direction of our once-proud...Tags: Unrest, Conflicts and War, World War II (1939-1945), Genocide, Massacres, Hate Crimes

Mailbag: Deed doesn't allow for-profit use of TeWinkle Park
Re. "City to study park plan," April 7: Your story on privatization of TeWinkle Park left out an important fact: The land is deed-restricted, and the proposed privatization would likely result in forfeiture of the entire park, including any improvements,...Tags: Politics, Company Privatization, Government, Privatization
