Deborah Pauly, an elected member of the OC Republican Party and former Villa Park Councilwoman, writes about the lobbyists and consultants that are able to influence elected officials, with taxpayer dollars, all facilitated by the Association of California Cities – Orange County.
AB 448 would create a regional agency to finance 2,700 homes for homeless people. It cleared the state Legislature unanimously last week, on the same day Heather Stratman suddenly left her job.
The proposal would create a regional agency of city, county, and public representatives to speed up the financing of 2,700 proposed homes with support services for homeless people.
If built, the 2,700 new units would be enough to house more than half of the 4,792 homeless people counted in Orange County during the latest official count in January 2017.
