Laguna Beach Local News

I only recently received public records from City Hall that I requested over four months ago. These documents were extremely redacted, but something slipped through their secretive black-out net. There appears to be an unhealthy relationship, or should I say collaboration, between Shaena Stabler, the editor/owner of StuNews, and Councilwoman Sue...

On Aug. 29, there was a much welcome afternoon of music in Bluebird Park. It was a beautiful day, people seemed to genuinely happy to resume our normal summer tradition and the event was well attended. Enter Councilmember George Weiss, all decked out in his bright blue Laguna Residents...

“Ti Amo” is Italian for “I Love You.” Maybe that explains the city government’s inexplicable infatuation with Ti Amo as the site for a future fire station. Or park. Or parking lot. Or something. They won’t say for sure what the plan is for the site. Maybe they don’t know. Or...

I'd like to make two corrections to Merrill Anderson's letter to last week's Indy titled “Development Done Right”. The architect who designed the project, Bianchi Court at 496 N.

On Sept. 14, Californians resoundingly beat back a specious power grab for control of not just our state's governorship, but potentially the U.S. Senate. Gov. Gavin Newsom won 62% of the vote in 2018, and as it stands, he has nearly 63% of Californians voting no on this recall....

I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Weil about the importance of reading in his letter to the editor of Sept. 17. While it appears that he has read reports of Malibu’s Measure R, it seems that a close reading of the Laguna Residents First Ballot Initiative didn’t occur. It...
