In 2010, DeVore said he vows to “work hard to balance California’s $21-billion budget deficit without new taxes while campaigning diligently to unseat Sen. Barbara Boxer — and be a good husband and father at the same time.”
Assemblyman Van Tran said he views the new year as more of a time for reflection. He’s hoping to unseat Rep. Loretta Sanchez in 2010.
“Around the holidays, I count my blessings and think about what has happened over the past year,” Tran said. “Once I get into the new year is when I make a New Year’s resolution.”
Orange County Supervisor John Moorlach is hoping to manage his time better and also get with the times in 2010.
The supervisor will start using an electronic calendar instead of his day-timer.
“I’m just making some minor adjustments, and we’ll see how they work in 2010, nothing dramatic,” he said.
Costa Mesa Councilwoman Katrina Foley intends to help stop the sale of the Orange County Fairgrounds in 2010. But that’s not it for her. She plans on laughing and dancing more with her family, and launching an action sports management business.
Foley’s goal is also to “create as many job opportunities as possible to help families in our community to have a more prosperous 2010.”
Costa Mesa Mayor Allan Mansoor and Foley don’t often see eye-to-eye, but they are united on the fairgrounds’ issue.
Mansoor said he doesn’t usually make new year’s resolutions, but he has goals.
Another one of his goals is to be as effective as possible with his remaining time on the City Council, he said.
Costa Mesa Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Leece said she’ll apply this year’s lessons to 2010.
“This last year has been a really hard year for the city, and we learned a lot of lessons and my resolution would be to apply those lessons to the new year and continue to work hard, even though our challenges sometimes seem insurmountable,” she said.
