Welcome to Nelson’s E-News!
Welcome back to my newsletter. Thank you again for reading.
Below, you will find some very significant votes and decisions that have occurred since my last newsletter, with my reasons for making them, including a long overdue proposal to begin reforming the County’s unsustainable pension system.
As always, there are many events happening in the Fourth District and Orange County, one of which is the Orange County Homelessness Roundtable that I hosted to discuss this pressing issue. Please keep reading for more information and to see how you can get involved in the community. I have also included an update on the tragic fatal hit-and-run that occurred in the Fourth District last month.
The next Board of Supervisors meeting is Tuesday, March 6 at 9:30 am in the Hall of Administration, 333 W. Santa Ana Blvd., Santa Ana 92701. The Board will be dark on Tuesday, March 13.
Sincerely, Shawn Nelson.
