A Tulare County (Calif.) grand jury said Tulare Local Health Care District should release “without delay” a full accounting of how $85 million in general obligation bond money was spent on a still-unfinished hospital project, according to an article on the Sacramento Bee website.
The district has not shared how the funds were spent, and a bond oversight committee could not function because it was never given sufficient information, the report said.
Millions of dollars were spent on unplanned construction costs or matters not directly related to construction.
Released with the title “Tower of Shame,” the grand jury report comes out as the community decides what to do about the unfinished hospital addition.
