Calif. Lawmaker Questions Unspent Charitable Funds
On Wednesday, California Sen. Bob Hertzberg (D-Van Nuys), chair of the state Senate Governance and Finance Committee, plans to hold a hearing examining $10 million in unspent charitable donations made by taxpayers. Of that, $237,000 was raised to fund colorectal cancer screenings, but the state departments of Public Health and Health Care Services said they were not authorized to spend the money.
