PRINCE OF BUDGETS: Freshman state Sen. Frank Hill, a Whittier Republican who also represents a big chunk of Orange County, is the third O.C. legislator in succession to be named vice chairman of the powerful Senate budget committee. . . . Predecessors Marian Bergeson and John Seymour managed to snare local funds for everything from roads to schools. It may be tougher to bring home the bacon this year, but Hill says “it’s my intention to go to bat for Orange County.”
