Countywide : 2 Supervisors Take Oaths for New Terms
Supervisors Roger Stanton and Bruce Nestande were sworn in for new, four-year terms Monday in a family-oriented ceremony at the county Hall of Administration.
Both men, beginning their second terms, took the oath of office from their wives as mothers, in-laws, children and close friends looked on, along with an audience of top-level county employees and about 150 business and political leaders.
“This ceremony marks not an end, or a beginning, but a continuation of a steady, continuous, common-sense approach to governing this, the second most populous county in California,” Stanton said, adding that county government in the next several years “must re-emphasize a commitment to competency.”
As in past years, Nestande emphasized the need to preserve Orange County’s life style over the next several years, “so that we grow in a manner that is not going to destroy this county.”
“The wheel of time keeps turning. Nothing we can do about that,” Nestande said. “What we can do is make sure it moves in the right direction.”
