Court rules key arguments by cemetery foes are false​

DESPITE FALSE AND MISLEADING ARGUMENTS SUBMITTED BY THE “NO ON B’ CAMPAIGN, THE ARDA SITE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION AS A SITE FOR VETERANS CEMETERY. CALVET ESTIMATED IT WOULD COST $77 MILLION, INCLUDING MORE THAN $30 MILLION TO DEMOLISH AND REMOVE THE EXISTING 77 BUILDINGS AND SURROUNDING CONCRETE AND ASPHALT AND UNDERGROUND UTILITIES AT THE SITE.

An Orange County judge has ruled that the “No on B” campaign has made false and misleading claims in its arguments against the veterans cemetery. The ruling vindicates the veterans who believe the campaign is designed to spread confusion about the status of the Southern California Veterans Cemetery, and is designed to kill the cemetery they so deserve.

Broad Support for Yes on B

The “No on B” group recently attempted to convince the Democratic Party of Orange County to reverse its strong support of the Orange County Veterans Cemetery located at the Strawberry Fields site, part of the former MCAS El Toro base. The DPOC was not swayed, rejecting the overture.

OPINION

“Yes” on Measure B to Build a Veterans Cemetery and Send Opponents a Loud Rebuke for Misleading and Lying to Voters 
By Irvine City News Editorial Board 

Democracy is an interesting thing: we tend to take it for granted until some individual, group or organization is trying to subvert it.  

Veterans, citizens and public officials in Irvine and throughout Orange County and at the state level in Sacramento have long been committed to building a much-needed and infinitely deserved veterans cemetery within the boundaries of the former Marine Corps Air Station El Toro.  ​​
