Earlier this week, Chairman Wagner took our community's concerns to the Nation's Capitol. Joined by Vice Chairman Andrew Do and our County of Orange Legislative Affairs office, Chairman Wagner met with Senator Alex Padilla, Congresswoman Young Kim, and Congresswoman Michelle Steel to discuss a variety of issues including our Orange County Opioid Prevention Plan to increase opioid prevention, education, and intervention services in local communities across the County and Transitional Age Youth housing to provide at-risk individuals with the services they need to successfully reenter their communities and become self-sufficient. 

Chairman Wagner also met with federal departments including the Veterans Affairs' National Cemetery Administration to discuss Orange County's Veterans Cemetery, and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to address the airplane noise issues in Orange County. Chairman Wagner made the FAA aware of the 400,000 noise complaints the County has received between 2017 and 2022, and requested if any changes to operations or penalties would be implemented in response to these complaints from our community. 

Chairman Wagner will continue to work with our representatives on every level of government to improve the lives of Orange County residents.
