OC Political

The Democrats are losing seats like crazy in Orange County. When I was browsing the agenda for the meeting of the Orange County Board of Supervisors today, I noticed on the agenda the appointment of Jo-Anne W. Martin to the Placentia Library District. This comes after the resignation of Betty Escobosa who is a registered Democrat. Jo-Anne W. Martin is registered as an American Independent.

After taking notice of this appointment, I started digging through old meeting minutes for the County Board of Supervisors and found that they have appointed people to fill all of the vacancies that remained in local offices. Our Local elected official database link up at the top of this website has been updated to reflect all of these vacancies being filled.

This appointment is a lot less interesting than the one that will take place on Tuesday. If all goes as expected we will have new Orange County Auditor-Controller appointed after each of the seven applicants takes part in the job interview from hell. As we did with Orange County Clerk-Recorder, we will be live blogging the events on Tuesday and plan to provide a breakdown of each applicant as soon as information becomes available.
