Hosted by
LA County’s Probation Department can’t find $79 million or locate 10% of its employees, and 31 of its officers cannot be disciplined even though they’ve committed abuse and misconduct.  Some have convictions for felony crimes. Also, we remember the late James Wood, president of the Getty Trust. On our rebroadcast of To the Point, billions of dollars are not producing “miracle” treatments or cures for cancer.  Should more attention be spent on prevention?

LA County’s Probation Department can’t find $79 million or locate 10% of its employees, and 31 of its officers cannot be disciplined even though they’ve committed abuse and misconduct.  Some have convictions for felony crimes.
