Voice of OC (https://voiceofoc.org/tag/orange-county-auditor-controller/)
OC Auditor Controller Eric Woolery leads a coalition of 44 auditor controllers from across California, demanding the ability to hire their own lawyers when they detect fraud, waste or abuse from local elected officials. Action comes just as OC Supervisors are poised today to water down 1994 bankruptcy-era reform requiring public review for borrowings.
True self-government means knowing how your local public dollars are being spent. Some in Orange County clearly get that as evidenced by the attendance at county Auditor-Controller Eric Woolery’s “Accounting for Activists” training.
David Sundstrom, an elected official, is leaving for a similar
elective position in Sonoma County.
The latest request was for an additional $225,000 for an
accounting software overhaul. Reason given for the change order:
“unforeseen complexities.”
