Orange County audit questions welfare borrowing
An audit of Orange County’s 1971 finances says a $2 million general fund surplus technically avoided borrowing $950,000 for welfare costs. It notes the surplus could have supported the social services deficit, while officials defend the borrow to cover early 1972 bills. The report also calls for merging budgets, but acknowledges keeping them separate to protect other departments.
