Activists rally against corruption and demand voting reform
In a recent government meeting, discussions highlighted a range of pressing issues, including concerns over corruption, voting processes, and legal matters involving the county.

One speaker passionately addressed the audience, framing the fight against corruption as a moral battle rather than a political one. They called for unity among Americans to combat what they described as systemic evils affecting local governments. The speaker expressed gratitude towards community members who have actively participated in this movement, emphasizing the need for vigilance in protecting children and ensuring parental voices are heard.

Another speaker, Stacy, raised concerns about the use of voting machines in the county, arguing that it is financially irresponsible to renew contracts with voting machine companies amid a financial crisis. She advocated for a return to neighborhood precinct voting and suggested that the structure of public meetings be revised for greater efficiency, citing the more organized approach of neighboring Riverside County as a model.

The meeting also included a closed session where the board addressed several key items. Notably, the board appointed Michelle Aguirre as the interim county executive officer, following a unanimous vote. Additionally, a proposed settlement of $365,000 was approved in a case involving a woman injured by a police dog, pending final approvals.

Furthermore, the board authorized county legal counsel to intervene in a lawsuit challenging the approval of a veteran cemetery project in Anaheim. The county maintains that the lawsuit lacks merit and aims to support the city of Anaheim in defending the project.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to return for further discussions, underscoring the ongoing efforts of the board to address community concerns and legal matters effectively.
