• An ethical double standard

  26-09-2019 01:10 via ocregister.com
  
  A political scandal that erupted in San Diego 16 years ago indirectly established a peculiar — and unseemly — ethical double standard regarding local ballot measures.
  Simply put, while it may be legal for public officials to mislead the public in seeking approval of bond and tax measures — which they often do — it’s illegal to mislead bankers when those measures are implemented.
  The San Diego case involved a $500 million bond issue that city officials were

• A look back at previous NBA All-Star Games in Los Angeles

  14-02-2026 18:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Los Angeles has long had a love affair with basketball, so it’s only appropriate that the city is hosting the NBA All-Star Game for a seventh time this weekend at the Intuit Dome. Previous L.A. games were held in 1963, 1972, 1983, 2004, 2011 and 2018, with Staples Center (now Crypto.com Arena) hosting the three most recent events.
  Icons of the sport have been named the game’s MVP every time it has been held in L.A. – Bill Russell, Jerry West, Julius Erving, Shaquille O’Ne

• Where are house investors most active in California?

  14-02-2026 17:08 via ocregister.com
  
  Roughly one in six California houses is owned by someone who doesn’t live there – but investors’ market clout varies across the state.
  That’s what my trusty spreadsheet found after reviewing a BatchData report that found investors of all sizes own 1.28 million houses statewide – 17% of California’s supply of houses and townhomes.
  Investors in this study include everything from giant companies controlling thousands of houses to folks with a small collection of

• Newport Beach to review its management of Newport Harbor

  14-02-2026 17:05 via ocregister.com
  
  Newport Beach leaders are taking a fresh look at how the city manages its onshore and offshore harbor moorings and the associated fees to ensure they are equitable for public access.
  The State Lands Commission recently examined the fee structure for tying up a boat in the Newport Harbor after complaints from the Newport Mooring Association about an inequity between what its members pay and what Newport Beach residents pay for private piers.
  The city, through a new council ad hoc committee, will

  By BRADLEY IGER, Edmunds
  Valentine’s Day isn’t just about roses and candlelight — it’s about chemistry. The kind you feel instantly, irrationally, and sometimes against your better judgment. People have chemistry with cars too. Some lure you in with their rogue spirit and self-assurance, others charm you with confidence and poise, and a few will leave you wondering why you can’t stop thinking about them days later.

• Susan Shelley: Jennifer Siebel Newsom scolds the press for doing its job

  14-02-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Like a homecoming queen at her 25th high school reunion, Jennifer Siebel Newsom expected more attention. 
  “Ask about what we’re here for today. Don’t you think?” she demanded.
  They were there, in Sacramento, for a bill signing and question-and-answer session about $90 million in new state funding for Planned Parenthood.
  Siebel Newsom was irritated that journalists were asking her husband about other subjects, as reporters always do when the governor takes questions.

• San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan wants to be the optimistic candidate for California governor

  14-02-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  Matt Mahan isn’t really a fan of the “moderate” label.
  The San Jose mayor and Democratic candidate for governor, in fact, said, “I don’t know what moderate means,” when asked about his reputation during a recent trip to Los Angeles to talk housing and homelessness and tour Skid Row.
  Instead, it’s optimism that Mahan said more accurately defines his campaign style, his would-be approach as California’s potential next governor, his persona.

• California needs to transition away from the gas tax, whether Republicans like it or not

  14-02-2026 16:00 via ocregister.com
  
  California’s largest transportation funding source, the fuel tax, is living on borrowed time. The growing number of fuel-efficient vehicles, hybrids and electric vehicles on the state’s roads means the gas tax is no longer a sustainable way to build, maintain, and expand highways, roads, and bridges.
  The consensus among transportation experts is that states will need to replace fuel taxes with road user charges. But California Republicans are fearmongering against road char

• What happened to your bean seeds? Here are some possibilities.

  Q. About two weeks ago, I planted some bean seeds directly outside in my raised bed garden. Usually, they germinate within a week, but I haven’t seen anything come up yet. Yesterday, I checked the soil where I planted, and I can’t even find the seeds. What happened?
  If you’ve been checking every day and haven’t seen any evidence that the seeds have germinated, it’s likely that they’ve simply rotted. Although we are unlikely to experience any frost (the officia

  Imagine a garden with nothing but plants whose foliage is variegated in multiple colors, not just green and white or green and yellow, but with pink, orange, gold, burgundy, or red or a combination of these colors.
  I thought about such a garden when ogling a neighbor’s low hedge of glossy abelia. There are many colorful, variegated dwarf cultivars of this species (Abelia x grandiflora): Kaleidoscope reaches no more than three feet tall with yellow, orange, and red leaves, or the similarly
