Members of the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) disagreed Sept. 6 with a recent grand jury report titled “Orange County Power Authority: Come Clean” and responded to a county request for a third-party financial audit.

Findings from the grand jury’s June 24 report suggested the power authority lacked transparency, failed to hire qualified staff resulting in diminished credibility, and lagged in providing staff reports and agendas in a timely manner.
