Instead, the community is expected to stay in Wilson's district. "It's highly unlikely,• Wilson said. "Everything I've heard is that the numbers don't work." The Orange County Board of Silva could not be reached for comment Thursday. Leaders in both Newport Beach and Newport Coast have lobbied for the unification of the two. Newport Beach Councilwoman Nonna Glover said she was disappointed that the coast isn't likely to join the dty in the same district. Jim McGee, the chairman of Newport Coast Committee of 2000, could not be reached for comment, but he bas said he is concerned about the current situation.
