Is he Qualified?: Exclusive: Gaddi Vasquez, the Orange County Bankruptacy, and his resignation from public office


Gaddi Vasquez's resignation as Board Chairman for the
Orange County Board of Supervisors after the county's
bankruptacy in 1995 has been a subject of much interest
after his nomination to become the next Director of
the Peace Corps.

In an effort to reconstruct what really happened,
we have collected excerts from newpaper articles from Orange
County newspapers in 1995 to provide a better overview
of what was going on in that period.
