That was the repeating question I asked the last time Former Mayor* John Heffernan cast judgment on the Newport Beach City Council regarding the Development Fee the Irvine Company pays to the City to build their White Elephant.
One month later, Former Mayor* (I wonder if he should get an asterisk on his Mayor-ness because he was only Mayor for Half a Year? For fun, he gets it for this post...) Heffernan is back to questioning the City Council with questions he already knows the answers to.
Shoot, these are questions most everyone already knows the answers to.
But Mayor* Heffernan resigned from the City Council for personal reasons in January 2006
But...he then came back (six months after resigning) onto the 2006 City Council Campaign trail, apologizing for his lack of involvement keeping employee salaries in check while he was on the dais. He even had a spreadsheet showing how out of whack employee salaries got under his watch.
And now...one year before the next City Council elections, in a district where his appointed replacement is up for re-election (again), he is asking the City Council rhetorical questions about the City's perceived sweethart deal with the Irvine Company.
Last month, I had a chat with some Lincoln Club guys about the possible candidates against Councilman Keith Curry in 2008.
But that was a week before Mayor* Heffernan's first set of rhetorical questions designed to make the City Council look bad.
A month before Mayor* Heffernan's second set.
And probably two months before Mayor* Heffernan's next set.
Glad the Daily Pilot is helping him out...
I think the first contested City Council seat is lining up...where's my magic 8-ball?
