California Can't Account for Federal Funds at Dept of Health

Over the last 3 years, the state Department of Health Services has received about $100 million in federal funds to fight bioterrism and officials can't seem to account for it. On a scale from 1 - 10, California received a mediocre 5 for its readiness in a report last month by the nonpartisan Trust for America's Health. Only five states scored worse. Where has the money gone? DHS officials can't seem to say. In June, the Rand Corporation issued a harsh critique of whether California could respond to a bio-attack.

This report came from the Sacramento Bee.
