First 5 Riverside Commission Resolves Funding Appeal
On Wednesday, the First 5 Riverside commission resolved an appeal by ruling that the Riverside County Department of Mental Health and the Family Services Association would each get 25% of an $11.7 million grant funded by the state tobacco tax, after critics said that commission members had distributed funds to organizations they headed up.
