Whispering Hills project faces voter petition and delay
The Capistrano County Registrar says 1,833 of the 1,621 required signatures tie to registered voters and final certification is pending. If certified, the petition heads to the City Council on July 30, who can rescind the approval or send it to voters, delaying plans for a high school and housing near San Juan Creek Road amid traffic and ridgeline concerns. Local figures cite signature-gathering issues, campaign tactics, and potential impacts on Capistrano Unified School District projects and Ambuehl Elementary upgrades.

Border checkpoint debate questions value of San Onofre stop
Congressman Issa argues that freeway checkpoints catch few people and waste resources, proposing redeploying 270 San Onofre and Temecula agents to other border duties. Border Patrol officials defend the program as a second line of defense, noting around 10 apprehensions daily at San Onofre and stressing checkpoint effectiveness against criminals and smugglers. The survey, funded at 12,000 dollars, polled 5,000 voters in Issa’s district and 1,000 online responses as part of constituent outreach.
