He was hardly there at all…
Our sharp-eyed commenter, Carpetbagger, helped out yesterday with this link to an LA Times story.
It seems that State Legislature Democrats are hard at work trying to re-write the disastrous history of the Great Park. A committee has voted to spend a quarter of a million dollars auditing the audit ordered by the Irvine City Council in the wake of Irvine Mayor, Sukhee Kang’s decade-long debacle.
Of course this is an unwarranted intrusion into a purely local government affair, and it is bought and paid for by Gafcon, the San Diego contractor who was one of the great beneficiaries of the Great Pork fandango. A Democrat San Diego legislator Lorena Gonzalez is the useful tool who keeps agendizing this, even though it has nothing to do with San Diego, except that’s where Gafcon is located.
But like most political deals there is a wheel within the wheel, and in this case the State Democrat Machine is obviously hard at work to make the carpetbagging Sukhee Kang, not look quite so bad by undermining the integrity of the first audit.
Irvine councilman Jeff Lalloway hits the nail on the head:
“Former (Irvine) Mayor Sukhee Kang, a Democrat, is now running for state Senate, and he does not come off well in the audit report. I think Democrats at the state level are working together to minimize the damage to his campaign.”
It smacks of desperation and it won’t help.
If only they could catch it…
Regardless of the details of either audit, one bald, inescapable fact will always exist: Sukhee Kang and his pals burned through $250,000,000 with virtually nothing to show for it. And there’s no way the Sacramento bag men can catch that pig long enough to put lipstick on it.

It’s going to take a really deep hole to bury the Great Park turd.

Right?
What will Sukhee’s introductory mail look like?
“I guided Irvine through the Great Park disaster and now I moved to Fullerton to represent you”?
Or,
“You probably never heard of me before, but I want you to know that I love you so much I moved here to represent you in Sacramento.”

“I’ve always been real involved in making the community a better place. It just wasn’t YOUR community.”

“Even though you have never heard of me I have all sorts of endorsements from a bunch of other people you have never heard of, either.”

I wonder if the people in Irvine are going to give the same level of cooperation to State auditors that Agran and Kang gave to the original auditors.
December 11, 2015 at 7:42 am
I thought about that, too. Stall, lie, dodge. Faux outrage, etc.

Oh great, another politician that dyes his hair.
63 and not a single gray hair.

A bad sign, for sure.

The State Legislature Democrats minimizing the damage to the carpetbagger’s campaign won’t help as much to protect his campaign. Kang’s two opponents, Ling Ling Chang (R) and Josh Newman (D) will probably expose the carpetbagger’s record in Irvine and how he ended up in Fullerton in 2016. Defeat Kang next year in the primary!

Hopefully, Sukhee Kang’s campaign should backfire right back in his face between his two opponents over the bid for state senate.
