Irvine Residents Share Asphalt Plant Concerns
Residents of Irvine, California, were set to gather at city hall on July 28 to share concerns about an asphalt plant they say is bringing toxic emissions into nearby neighborhoods.
The meeting was arranged by Irvine Councilman Larry Agran, the only publicly elected critic of All American Asphalt, an asphalt-mixing plant in North Irvine.
Organizers said the rally was in response to a lack of council action on the subject, since the issue has failed to be agendized. In Irvine, agendizing an item requires two councilmembers, and Agran has been unable to get a second.
Irvine Will Consider ‘Hero Pay’ for Grocery Store Workers
Irvine city council will consider boosting the pay of grocery store workers during the COVID-19 pandemic at a Feb. 9 meeting.
If approved, the ordinance would increase employee pay by an extra $4 an hour at any large franchise company not including managers, or supervisors for 120 days. The ordinance would go into effect immediately.
“I am very supportive of our grocery store workers who have been on the front line and who’ve been greatly exposed,” Irvine Councilmember Tammy Kim told The Epoch Times. “The grocery store workers that we have here are going through a lot. They are some of our … poorest residents.”
