LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF ORANGE COUNTY ACTION AND STUDY PROGRAM 2005-2006

The Program of the League of Women Voters of Orange County consists of action to implement general League principles, and action and study on governmental issues chosen by the membership. Its particular focus is government activities at the county level. The LWVOCILO was formed in 1966 and has adopted the following positions on government issues of specific concern to Orange County. These positions were developed by member study of an issue on a countywide basis, and by adoption by the LWVOCILO of a position statement developed by one or more member local Leagues.

ISSUES FOR EMPHASIS - 2005

Current Issue for Emphasis:

Know Your County - Review of the governmental structure, General Plan and budget of Orange County.
A study committee comprised of members of the four local Leagues will follow the guidelines in the LWV publication "How To Do A Local Study". The relationships to California state government will be explored. At least one General Meeting will be held for League members. Local Leagues will be encouraged to hold at least two local membership meetings to explore members' concerns regarding Orange County Government and to discuss the information provided by the committee. Finally, the committee will issue a report for League members and members of the public, which will include how county government is structured and how county services are funded.
