Union Tribune Covers Concerns of Informed Citizens

The Union Tribune has two articles about the cost overruns for the new hospital, the funding cuts to the downtown Medical Village project, and secretive Kaiser Agreement.

The 'new hospital will have 300 beds, not 453', and the downtown project budget of '$73 million . . . is down to $20.8 million for two warehouses and buying three properties - none of it to pay for the healing gardens, pedestrian pathway, stone-covered buildings and magnet high school the district talked about in detail in 2005'
