California hospital ripped over stalled tower

The hospital tower project at Tulare Regional Medical Center remains unfinished


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.
