• Former GOP Senate candidate Chuck DeVore joins O.C. supervisors’ race – Former Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, a conservative candidate who lost the GOP Senate primary to Carly Fiorina last year, announced Thursday that he is running for the Orange County Board of Supervisors.

  The 2012 contest will be a raucous competition among two well-known Republicans and former state legislators. DeVore’s opponent is former Assemblyman Todd Spitzer, who already served on the county board and has a healthy campaign war chest.

  In an email to supporters, DeVore focused on the state’s unfunded pension liability and accused Spitzer of being part of the problem in Sacramento — where he served in the Assembly — and Santa Ana.

• Birthing tourism: San Gabriel maternity center for Chinese women shut down – From the outside, they looked like other recently built San Gabriel townhouses — two stories, Spanish style, with roofs of red tile.

  Inside they were maternity centers for Chinese women willing to pay handsomely to travel here to give birth to American citizens.

  Southern California has become a hub of so-called birthing tourism. Operators of such centers tend to try to blend in, attracting as little attention as possible.

  But on quiet, residential Palm Avenue, neighbors had noticed an unusual number of pregnant women going in and out, and some complained about noise.

  On March 8, code enforcement officials shut down three identical four-bedroom townhouses functioning as an unlicensed birthing center.

  Anyone now want to change birthright citizenship?
