Look at this young woman's photo and see the article below....then ask yourself how you would feel if this was your daughter, realizing that it could happen here if we're not smart:
The Newport Beach City Council, the City Manager (in absentia of mind and ethics) Bludau and the former City Attorney Clauson cared so little and thought so little about this danger to our community, they unanimously supported a 25 year Rehab Settlement Agreement allowing unlimited beds for treating addicts and forgot to include (in that agreement) an effective and meaningful manner to monitor its compliance.
This Rehab Agreement can’t be monitored or enforced. The City doesn’t really know the # of addicts treated (or living, for that matter) in each house or their criminal backgrounds, nor do they care, now that the Rehab issue is off their priority list and out of the public eye.
They may try to tell you about the Rehab's voluntary reports submitted of #’s of addicts treated…but they won’t tell you those reports can’t be verified. Anyone, from this group above, telling you they can truly monitor and enforce the Agreement is a LIAR. Self-interested pigs gobbling free dinners, concerts, photo ops or parades, while avoiding common-folk inconveniences such as permits, penalties and, above all, accountability to the community…taking advantage of their City positions whenever they are able to get away with it. You know the names and the despicable characters. They squirm, make excuses or resort to "no comment" when caught.
When asked, no one in the City even has an effective idea how that monitoring might be done. But they're always happy to take a free lunch while reciting their impotent montras about "being concerned with the welfare of our citizens" and "retaining the character of our neighborhoods" but signifcant, effective monitoring plans......none. It’ll take a tragedy, like reported below, for the Newport Beach Community to see how City Officials sold us out, originating with an atrocious lack of foresight and the cesspool of Profiteering and Rehab Cronyism that they have wallowed in for so long (several ex-mayors, several ex-city attorney’s, current and former city council or friends/family financially involved with rehabs).

Collision of 2 L.A. worlds may have led to girl's death
By Richard Winton, Ari B. Bloomekatz and Joel Rubin
July 28, 2009, Los Angeles Times
Lily Burk, 17, was a bright, bookish teen who showed vast promise. Charlie Samuel, who is accused of killing her, is a transient with a long record of arrests and drug use.
Samuel had walked out of a nearby residential drug treatment program earlier in the afternoon. He had been ordered there after a recent arrest but had been given permission to leave for the day.
As Burk approached her Volvo sedan near 7th Street, Samuel confronted her. Moments later the car drove off - a security video shows Samuel behind the wheel and Burk in the passenger seat, but it does not capture the exact moment of the alleged abduction. By dusk, Burk was dead, her body left in her car in a downtown parking lot-her head beaten and her neck slashed, according to Los Angeles police and other law enforcement officials. Samuel killed her, police suspect, during a botched robbery............
