Newport Beach Hearts Irvine

This isn't anything new.

Newport Beach has squared off against Irvine many times over the years.

Newport Beach has won a few.

Irvine won a few.

and some victories were bigger than others...

So now we are at it again, as Newport Beach (AND Tustin) are legally swinging at Irvine

And Larry Agran being Larry Agran, Irvine is swinging back.

And what does Irvine and Newport have to gain by all this legal wrangling.

Let's see...

How about having a good working relationship to keep John Wayne Airport from turning into John Wayne International Airport perhaps?

And before anyone starts spewing that traffic is down at JWA, that is only temporary as our Economy is sputtering.

Irregardless, this legal mumbo jumbo is futile in the big picture of things, as ANY expansion of John Wayne Airport will make all those future developments (unless they are high rise office and warehouse buildings) useless.

Add to that the rumors about Mayor Pro-Tem Keith Curry (and potentially Councilwoman Leslie Daigle) vying for Assemblyman Chuck Devore's 70 Assembly seat in 2010, it would behoove him (and her) to play peacemaker in any conflict with Irvine, considering that the Irvine voters play a MAJOR role in deciding who will represent them up in Sacramento.
