Each weekday, catch up on the 5 most pressing stories to start your morning in 3 minutes or less.Orange County supervisors are set to vote Tuesday on a censure of their fellow board member Andrew Do. Also on the agenda: a vote that would require reviews of county contracts and additional transparency measures.
LAist has reached out to Supervisor Do for comment and will update the story if we hear back. He has declined to comment dozens of times since LAist first began reporting on the money he directed to Viet America Society. The censure vote, Sarmiento told LAist, is not just for the public, but for county employees who feel “betrayed” because the unfolding fraud allegations “distorts the narrative of what the function is of the county.”“This … is also to let them know that those of us who remain on the board, we'll continue to conduct the people's business and we'll also call out these moments when you see an abuse of authority and abuse of the public's trust,” he said.
Sarmiento told LAist he is “trying to find some way to put some teeth into our code of ethics” so if something similar happens in the future it will result in sanctions, such as the automatic removal of a supervisor from appointments to boards and commissions. He is also exploring the option of them not receiving their pay for serving as a supervisor if they violate the code of ethics.
“Right now, it took more than a year for the board to have light on it,” Foley said. “Frankly, it was because of reporters digging in. Gerda was the one that told me and that’s not ever good.”
