Slow in Newport?

It has been a bit slow Politically, at least this week, in Newport Beach.

So slow that the Daily Pilot has sent their new Political reporter, Brianna Bailey to Mississippi?

Elsewhere, in the County business is the Sheriff Carona Saga. With a no guilty plea, Sheriff Carona has decided to take a leave of absence for 60 days.

I don't think 60 days will be enough...

In the When-It-Rains-It Pours category, check out this OC Register article on Orange County's Auditor doing a full run-through on Sheriff Carona's expenses too. If they find something hokey, be prepared to see the IRS and the Franchise Tax Board in full assault mode too.
