The sad thing about Irvine politics is that I have no idea if the "toxic" soil link is even true. Has any actual news publication (other than Agran's fraud machine) published anything? I would presume if it was "real", we'd have seen all kinds of talk about the school on a toxic site. Agran is such a slimeball.

BUllsback, let me first say that I respect most things you say on this blog. In fact I agree with many things you say. But this last comment I thought was quite ridiculous.
these are the first 5 links that showed up on a google search. I only linked these because its ridiculous that people question and dismiss this issue. Your claim that this "toxic thing" is not true because due to the lack of coverage is illogical, especially if that is the only argument. The facts are there and rather I feel you should be appalled at the lack of coverage of this.
By the same notion you feel politics in Irvine is outrageous, you should feel outraged that politics is likely what prevents further coverage of this issue. There has been active efforts to minimize the coverage of this issue. Although this is purely speculation, I suspect this is being pushed under the rug because there is a lot of money at stake... Unfortunately it may be at the risk of the people living in the area. I for one do not want to be a guinea pig in their play for more money and power. Whether you or anyone else reading the blog wish to take this risk is your decision.
