Five surprises from Loving Laguna book on Laguna Beach
Skip Hellewell recalls five revelations from Loving Laguna: Eiler Larsen, Laguna’s greeting icon, fought in WWI and walked the U.S. He became a friendly local fixture. Jim Dilley built Greenbelt Inc to create a 23,000 acre urban wilderness around the town. Anna Hills helped found Laguna Art Museum and taught art to children. Front-line staff kindness predicted manager treatment, with women cited for notable courtesy. Laguna’s restaurant scene numbers around a hundred and breakfast by the sea proves the town’s vitality.

State budget shell game drives higher California gas prices
Carolyn Cavecche of the Orange County Taxpayers Association explains how Proposition 42, enacted in 2002, shifted gas taxes from sales tax to an annual excise tax index set by the California State Board of Equalization. The 3 cent rise this year continues a pattern meant to fund transportation, with future increases likely and concerns over underfunded infrastructure and high overall taxes in California.
