- Orange County Gets Special Law to Allow Bone to Apply for $6.8 Million!

Following a speech to the Orange County Board of Supervisors on AB 818, presented April 2, 1998, the CEO's office implemented Jim Bone's plan to make it possible to make an application after Bone is elected, in the bill SB 1649. Under the bill, the county can adopt a resolution in January, 1999, for the current fiscal year.
