Robert L. Citron: Resigned after 24 years as county treasurer-tax collector when his risky investment strategy forced Orange County government to file for Bankruptcy Court protection.

William G. Steiner: The county supervisor accused federal securities regulators of sitting idle when they might have rescued the county from having to file for bankruptcy protection.

Thomas F. Riley: The former Marine brigadier general chairs the Orange County Board of Supervisors, which approved the historic bankruptcy decision.
