Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on March 22, 2013

I was working on a database of the part affiliation of all Orange County local elected officials. Finally, I have completed the project with all of the special districts and county seats being added. I also fixed some errors in the previous versions (here, here, and here) and have combined the database into one post.

2012 City Council Party Affiliation Post

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on November 14, 2012

Chris Nguyen did a great job putting together a local database of all party affiliations for candidates running for local office. I thought that I would take the time to expand on his post and show a database of all Orange County Councilmembers (Also OC Board of Supervisors) that will be serving on City Councils starting next month and what party they are affiliated with.

Please note that a couple of races could potentially change based on a close finish and not all votes being counted. This post will be added to our website in a permanent tab that we will be creating at the top of the site.

Here is the database: Read the rest of this entry »

Stanton Puts Tax Increase on Ballot

Posted by Former Blogger Chris Emami on February 10, 2012

H/T OC Register for a story on Stanton choosing to put a utility tax increase on the ballot for the June 2012 election. The rate increase would be from 5% to 7.5% and the vote was a 4-0 vote with the following council members voting to place the item on the ballot:

Brian Donahue
Al Ethans
David Shawver
Carol Warren

There is an unfortunate vacancy on the council due to the resignation of Ed Royce Sr. who was often the lone conservative voice on the council.

It seems that every time that things start to go south for a City or School District they look to take it out on the taxpayers in the form of a tax increase or school bond. According to the article it is possible that the Council might look to reduce the tax if economic times improve. Realistically though I do not see Stanton lowering the rate back down to 5% if they get this passed. At the end of the day it comes down to the voters of Stanton and what they decide they want to see happen.
