Aaron chats with Orange County Manager Bonnie Hammersley, who’s retiring this summer after ten years on the job (and an overall career spanning more than three decades). Hammersley reflects on her time in Orange County, her greatest accomplishments, and what lies ahead for our community – and they also discuss Hammersley’s budget proposal for next year, which includes a 3-cent property tax increase to pay for higher school funding while offsetting lower-than-expected sales tax revenue totals.
