Commentary

Greetings, Orange County! It’s hard to believe that we’re already halfway through the shortest month of the year. February may not have many days, but it has been busy, with great things happening all over the county.

We’re working to make homeownership more affordable for veterans. I believe we should be doing all we can to help our veterans, and the veterans tax exemption can provide some needed financial relief to veterans who have dedicated their lives to serve our country.
