In an email, Politician Duffy Duffield told me that he wants to clarify his Marijuana Grow Operation. Politician Duffy claims that the only reason he partitioned his land to be a growing facility was to sell it off, that zoning it for pot grow increased the value, and that he totally, seriously, absolutely does not grow pot.  He just wants …

In Newport Beach we have a population of about 87,000 people, and a whopping 32,000 of them aren’t even registered to vote.  Today is the last day to register vote!  If you are not registered by 5pm today, you will be unable to vote in this upcoming election.  You can register online right here, in just 60 seconds: http://savenewport.com/vote I spoke with …

If you were looking for some peace and quiet on the beach, it ain’t happening today or this weekend!  It is the third annual air show in Huntington Beach, for the first time this year it is renamed the Great Pacific Air Show. It begins today at 11 and will last until 4, but you can anticipate the show to …

In the last few days we’ve had rain, thunderstorms, one heck of a 360-degree lightning show, 65mph winds, and a “red fire” warning lasting until 8 p.m. last night. The rain was much needed.

A bold claim like this needs a lot of references, so be prepared for a lot of citations. In a bombshell of an election-year scandal, our Mayor, Duffy Duffield, has been found to be growing the exact same plant that he prohibited other people from growing in 2015 (http://savenewport.com/2015/11/10/pot-ban-drug-cartels/ — which did cause a crime increase, as we predicted), and …

This year, Diane Dixon is up for re-election.  I waited to see if anyone else would file to run against her, but she has sufficiently terrified people from running, especially when she showed her true colors, using taxpayer resources in an attempt to defame people simply for not supporting one of her initiatives. So, approximately 15 minutes before the bell …

First, let me apologize for my lack of updates.  As you may know, SaveNewport is a one-man-show, and I got into a pretty fun bicycling accident about a week ago and have been basically immobile since, with a lot more pain that I care to admit.  Don’t worry, just a bunch of superficial wounds and a lot of swelling.  I …

Ahoy mateys!  From Thursday October 4th through Sunday October 7th, Buccaneer Days will be celebrating their 29th anniversary in Two Harbors on Catalina Island. This festival of pirates began as an unofficial event, with no booty required for boarding.  As time went on, the event became more organized, much to the shivering timbers of many members from the original group, as …
