Orange County’s board of supervisors is a powerful bunch. Controlling a $4 billion dollar budget is a big job and too often in recent years votes have gone the wrong way because there were not enough solid conservative valued board members.
Today that will change. The voters of the 5th Supervisorial District are going to elect former Assemblywoman Pat Bates a solid GOP conservative. Bates will get sworn in at the same time as OC Treasurer/Prophet John Moorlach. Both them have integrity that is unquestioned and conservative principles that they never compromise.
Supervisor Chris Norby who was not up for re-election this year is a bit more libertarian but nonetheless conservative and Board Chairman Bill Campbell round out the GOP majority.
There are high hopes that this majority will create a more open environment at the Hall of Administration. That they will make it clear to staff and the unions and anyone who asks, that their agenda is based on sound limited government principles.
Gilliard Blanning Wysocki ran Bates’ campaign against Laguna Niguel Mayor Cassie DeYoung who spent more than $4 million dollars of her own money to loose. My firm did the polling.
Good luck Pat!
