Unbelievable and sad!!! You refuse to accept the results because you guys were wrong in doing false accusations Vs admitting the citizens page is a joke just to benefit some frustrated unsuccessful people!

The word ‘if’ is the magic word here.The DA, Tim Ward has been paid off to turn his head. And now that he HAD to respond to this issue the two will not go to trial maybe a plea and never see inside a jail. They will pay their way out again.Tulare County is corrupt. Hopefully the people can see the corruption and elect honest people to serve the citizens of Tulare Co. Time for Tim Ward to be out of here.

If I may be redundant, crime that goes unpunished can be VERY expensive. Bensleezy and Kumar, if convicted of a crime, must do time behind bars. That way, the next predator that comes to town knows that the people of Tulare are not suckers who can be scammed.

You’re right…let me clarify. No cost to the District, but yes as taxpayers we do fund the State Auditor’s Office.

Who pays for it then if not the taxpayer?

Not that there’s anything wrong with a public entity incurring expenses, including to manage finances…..

In reply to Mary.

There is no cost to the taxpayer for the audit. The auditors work with the hospital district and the findings go to the District, it ensures transparency and assists the district to make sure they are using best accounting practices. If there is wrongdoing then referrals will be made to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. It is essential that the public know how their money was used. The District can’t shield wrong doing because it may be a risk.

How much is this going to cost taxpayers? The hospital doesn’t have any money. What if it’s found that the Boards were negligent?
