Oversight? Who needs it? We’ve got Keystone Managers/Cops

Just one more example of How Orange County CEO Tom Mauk lets managers off the hook for errors that cost the taxpayers hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars to fix. Be it managing personnel OC CEO Mauk condones Bustamantes’ sexist remarks!, or contracts here, he just keeps getting it wrong. County IT task...

County Supes Wasting More Taxpayer Money

We have heard time and time again from Republicans/Conservatives how private enterprise can do the job better than government; that government workers are too expensive; and if you can find it in the yellow-pages the government workers shouldn’t be doing it.

Hoa’s newest reports raise even more questions

A reasonable person might think that the Hoa Van Tran campaign might make damn sure that they got their campaign statement for the period ending May 17, 2008 correct. Well if you are that reasonable person, you’re wrong. If their new treasurer were an archer, he would have missed the target by about 180...

1st District Supervisor: Why I’m Letting Go of the Fiasco

May 20, 2008
By Andrew Davey

OK, this whole campaign has turned into a mess. Janet Nguyen may just end up with a free ride to reelection just at a time when she least deserves it. Van Tran should be embarassed that he ever endorsed Dina Nguyen. And now, we have sufficient evidence to show us that Hoa Van Tran...
