Following allegations of corruption, price increases, “broken promises,” and ensuing public outrage, both Irvine and Huntington Beach city councils voted almost unanimously to audit the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) June 14.
After private session deliberations, Huntington Beach voted 5 to 0 authorizing possible legal action against OCPA, with Councilors Kim Carr and Erik Peterson absent. Irvine voted 4 to 0 in favor less than 2 hours prior, with Councilman Mike Carroll absent.
