Huntington Beach Will Sue Over Gov. Newsom’s Order to Close OC Beaches for Coronavirus; Newport Beach May Follow
By Noah Biesiada and Hosam Elattar, Voice of OC, May 1, 2020:
Huntington Beach intends to sue the state after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he would be closing all Orange County beaches.
The Huntington Beach City Council voted 5-2 to file a lawsuit against the State of California, with Councilmembers Barbara Delgleize and Kim Carr opposing the move.
While Newport Beach did not take any action Thursday night, Councilman Kevin Muldoon suggested that the city follow Huntington Beach and sue the state, claiming that Orange County had “flattened the curve.”
A recent Voice of OC story shows coronavirus hospitalizations in Orange County have been steadily increasing over the last month, leading to questions over whether or not the county has “flattened the curve.”
“I would like to call for a special council meeting,” Muldoon said. “That would allow us to join the city of Huntington Beach, or any other Orange County cities and seek all legal means available to fight the arbitrary and unconstitutional exercise of power by the governor, that would take away control of our local beaches.
“That would essentially hand our prior decision to keep the beaches open into the trash bin.”
Earlier today, County of Orange officials downplayed any legal action, with Supervisor Don Wagner stating that he preferred to work with the state through negotiation rather than litigation.
After Huntington Beach announced they would be suing the state, Wagner said he thought this may be the first of many lawsuits in a text to Voice of OC.
