I thought that it would be good to update our readers on what is going on with the 3 vacancies that the OC Board of Supervisors will be looking to fill. A couple of days ago I made a media inquiry with the county into the status of filling all 3 vacancies (specifically OC Clerk-Recorder).

Due to the fact that this is a personnel issue names cannot be released as to who has officially applied for the vacancies but our readers are free to speculate in the comment section. The next best thing is giving an update on the vacancies by the numbers.
