Quirk-Silva’s move at the committee hearing led to backlash from Shea, who said the city tried numerous times to meet with the Assemblywoman about changing sites.
Quirk-Silva disputed those claims.
“It is important that we all remember that our aging population deserves to enjoy their lives with dignity and respect,” said Assembly Member Sharon Quirk-Silva. “I am honored to present this resolution to the Buena Park Senior Center, as their consistent service and commitment to the safety and well-being of Aging Californians is truly admirable.”
Senior Saturday
Orange County, CA - Assemblywoman Sharon Quirk-Silva is taking action to bring veteran organizations and the City of Irvine together as partners, to fulfill the dream of an Orange County Cemetery to honor the Veterans who have served our nation.
âI believe that our work to bring a veteran cemetery to Orange County is long overdue.â said Quirk-Silva. âAB 368 will reflect the views of Irvine city leaders, legislators, as well as most every veteran organization in the region.â continued Quirk-Silva. The bill, as proposed to be amended, will authorize a site on the former El Toro base that is known as the âGolf Course Site.â The new proposed site addresses both school and neighborhood issues. In addition, funding is almost complete. The measure also includes a directive that states the funds are to be protected for the cemetery.
Today, I presented a State Resolution to Buena Park Senior Activity Center for the 25th Annual Super Senior Saturday!
