OC Supervisors took the first step this month in creating a regional housing finance trust that will build 2,700 housing units for homeless people and affordable housing for low-income residents. Cities still need to sign up for the housing trust first.
Doug Chaffee, the former mayor of Fullerton, took office Tuesday. Supervisors also set March 12 as the date for a special election to replace the seat held until recently by Todd Spitzer.
Prosecutors say Paulette Chaffee, who ran for Fullerton City Council this year and is married to incoming county Supervisor Doug Chaffee, stole campaign signs that labeled her a “carpetbagger.” If convicted, she faces up to a year in county jail.
The Fullerton City Council clarified what emergency homeless shelters are at religious institutions after it amended its ordinance and added an application process so it can keep an inventory of beds in the city.
Spitzer was up by 5.8 percentage points in the latest ballot count. There was no word of a concession by his opponent, incumbent DA Tony Rackauckas.
The outcome will decide if Republicans keep all five seats on the county Board of Supervisors. Many ballots remain to be counted, and in close races the winner may not be known for days.
Fullerton Mayor Doug Chaffee writes about why he is running for 4th District Supervisor, highlighting how he would tackle issues like healthcare, public safety, early childhood education, transportation, affordable housing and jobs.
