The Voice of OC news team works around the clock to get you the public a seat at the table.
Every day public agencies across the county are deciding on issues involving public health, public funds, public lands and public services.
Voice of OC is Orange County’s institution dedicated to getting the public involved in those discussions: reporting the truth and pushing agencies to allow for public participation.
Just in the past few weeks you can see this firsthand in our coverage:
