Orange County officials are delving into the extensive corruption under former Supervisor Andrew Do, whos currently serving a five-year prison term for bribery. Auditors from Weaver provided the Board of Supervisors with their first official update on contracts approved during Dos tenure, revealing millions of taxpayer dollars misused for personal gain and political favors.
