OC might be picking another fight with Gov. Gavin Newsom over state restrictions as Supervisor Don Wagner hinted that county officials might not enforce the guidelines.
The vote caps a years-long saga filled with corruption allegations and non-transparency concerns hurled at several supervisors.
Orange County churches, restaurants, movie theaters and gyms can resume limited indoor operations after the county was moved to the second tier by the state.
Reeling from the coronavirus, local arts groups and artists get a lifeline thanks to an assist from Arts Orange County.
OC schools could be allowed to reopen mid September if the county can stay off the state’s watchlist until then, while local school officials have the final word.
Both West Anaheim and Santa Ana are home to many Latino immigrant families for whom English is not their first language.
Orange County supervisors are moving forward with three companies to take over non-airline aviation services at John Wayne Airport.
OC Supervisors set aside some of the coronavirus testing at the Anaheim Convention for elementary school teachers and students if state health officials allow classrooms to reopen.
Supervisor Don Wagner quibbles with typos and minor details, but fails to acknowledge the big picture about race relations and the Covid-19 crisis. Wagner refuses to address the fact the Board of Supervisors rejected the call to put a discussion of the renaming of John Wayne Airport, an avowed White Supremacist, on the agenda of its July 14 meeting or before voters. Just like Trump, Wagner fails to take responsibility for the County’s failed response to the Covid-19 crisis, which is why virus cases and deaths in Orange County have, since late May and early June, spiraled out of control. The County needs leadership, not political gamesmanship.
As OC continues to see a spike in coronavirus cases, county Supervisors seem often at odds with each other over what the numbers actually mean.
