Former Irvine mayor Suk Hee Kang told Chapman University students that despite questions about serving only Korean Americans, he aimed to serve the entire community. He described campaigning door to door to 40,000 homes and critiqued a question that offended him during three elections.
Sukhee Kang is highlighted as the first Korean American mayor of a major U.S. city when elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2010. He moved to the United States in 1977, won Irvine council seat in 2004, and founded the U S Korean Democratic Council in 1998. He led Korean Immigration Celebration Day efforts in 2003, ran an unsuccessful 2012 congressional bid against Rep. John Campbell, and earned degrees from Korea University and Dongseo University. He now co-teaches a civic leadership class at Korea University, sharing practical campaign insights with students.
Irvine police report 90 thefts in 2013 with past four year rise. If current pace continues, yearly total may surpass 98 in 2012 and a record 100 in 2008. Thieves seek platinum palladium and rhodium inside the converters, which can be pried off with bolts or cutting tools. Scrap yards pay about 4 cents a pound, but only for scrap metal, with average converter weight 5-6 pounds.
Police note catalytic converters on Toyota SUVs and trucks are bolted rather than welded, and with the high chassis present an easy mark for theft. The devices, containing platinum and palladium, are sold at high prices to recycling centers as they convert carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides.
