The Orange County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Sept. 24 to censure Supervisor Andrew Do, condemning his alleged role in allocating millions of dollars to a nonprofit connected to his daughter.

In a lawsuit filed on Aug. 15, Orange County officials alleged that four executives at the Viet America Society (VAS)—including Do’s 22-year-old daughter, Rhiannon Do—misappropriated $10.6 million intended to feed the elderly, to purchase homes for themselves.
