Demand OC Board of Supervisors Keep Independent Oversight

The OC Board of Supervisors will try to eliminate three different forms of independent oversight over county government. The Board’s decisions are a significant escalation in its long history of systematically dismantling transparency and accountability mechanisms in Orange County while consolidating power within the Board. Tell the Board that these are not the actions of a democratic institution and demand they keep independent oversight.

Dear Members of the Board of Supervisors:

I am deeply concerned by the Board’s efforts to completely dismantle independent oversight in Orange County. It is very troubling that the Board is trying to remove auditing and financial control oversight from independently elected Auditor-Controller Woolery, in what appears to be retaliation for the legitimate investigations of members of the board. It is equally disturbing that you voted to defund the Office of Independent Review, after leaving the Director position vacant for 2 years.

Message Body

Orange County needs better independent oversight; instead the board appears to want to remove all checks and balances. As your constituent, I do not support these resolutions to eliminate the current transparency and accountability mechanisms.

Sincerely,

[First Name] [Last Name]

ABOUT HONORIFIC TITLES

Many public officials use "web mail forms" that this system will send your message to, so you don't have to visit their web sites to communicate with them. The systems that some of these officials use requires that the honorific field be used (Mr., Mrs., Miss, etc.).

Unfortunately, we do not have control of which honorific titles are presented as options. We must adhere to what the officials are using in order for your message to be delivered.

Alternate Salutation

Most elected officials’ constituent email systems accept a very limited set of salutations. Please select the one you would most prefer.
