Irvine Election Results In, but City’s Future Remains Very Much Undecided
The bad news is Measure B passed. The good news is that it passed by such a narrow margin. Imagine the outcome if the Irvine Co. had not spent over $600,000 on its campaign. Sally Anne Sheridan, Bill Vardoulis and Barry J. Hammond are now put on notice by the close to 50% of voters against Measure B that they, and the dense policies they represent, are a hangover from the conspicuous consumption of the ‘80s.
With voters obviously becoming more educated with respect to what is at stake for the future of Irvine, any effort of the Irvine Co. to buy this continued representation will clearly be costly.
