New oversight promised after Hawaii trips and food spending exposed
New oversight measures are being promised for Washington County’s embattled sewer agency in the wake of an investigation by The Oregonian/OregonLive that uncovered lavish business trips to Hawaii and sky-high food expenses.
The Clean Water Services board of directors, which is solely composed of the five Washington County commissioners, disclosed the accountability efforts late Thursday in its first public statements to appease unrest over agency perks and spending.
