Orange County elections supervisor plans more voting sites, new office
The sign at the entrance to the Orange County Supervisor of Elections office is still partially made of construction paper. Inside, Karen Castor Dentel’s staff closed her door for the first time as she prepared for her interview – and promptly got everyone in the office stuck when it refused to open again.
Such is the way at the office as it recovers from the chaotic regime of her predecessor and a scandal that consumed the oxygen in the county for weeks last fall. At times, payroll was uncertain as leaders worked to recover $5 million that Glen Gilzean was accused of spending on pet projects instead of the core needs.
When WFTV sat down with Castor Dentel last Tuesday, she was proudly able to announce that her office had finished paying off the last of the overdue bills and paid its poll workers on the day of the election.
She quickly got about to discussing the priorities and improvement she promised voters but had to delay while getting her office organized.
