Last week at their regularly scheduled meeting, the Orange County Board of Commissioners were considering spending up to one million dollars (yes, $1M), to renovate the Link Center building to accommodate a meeting room for commissioner meetings.Â
I can only wonder how the current board would have voted if Earl McKee, the Democratic candidate for the District II seat on the board, had not spoke up for the citizens of Orange County and encouraged the board to table this idea.
Orange County needs more leaders like Earl McKee. We need to remember that on Nov. 2, 2010 … .in 2012, and beyond! Don’t forget, the entire county can vote for the District 2 seat in the general election.
