Just heard back from the District Attorney’s office confirming what I suspected late last week over the proposed appointment of Thomas Flanigan to be on the Orange County Employee Retirement System (OCERS).
“We have received a complaint and we’re reviewing it to see if an investigation is needed,” said DA Spokewoman Farrah Emami.
Emami told me their office got a copy of a complaint letter on Oct. 15 that was also sent to County Supervisor John Moorlach.
Moorlach called me “gullible” last week after I wrote a story about all the dust being kicked up over all the machinations to get Flanigan the appointment.
I wonder if that also makes the DA gullible for even looking into the matter?
For the record, district attorney’s get complaint letters all the time. They look into the matter and if it’s merited, they launch a probe.
No telling if this matter rises to that level yet.
The DA should carefully look at this issue. Look what happened to all of us when the overseers weren’t looking at our financial institutions.
It will be interesting to see if the Board of Supervisors will hold off on approving Moorlach’s guy, at least until the DA gives a green light.
Go get them Tony. Have no mercy.
After Moorlach’s last anointment (Ssstreettt), it should be standard protocol that anyone Moorlach endorses get an automatic review by the State AG.
