    According to the article, the Riverside county auditor controllers office conducted the investigation of misused funds. That means they used tax payer funds to staff and for equipment. But I understand these facilities a licensed by the state, which are supposed to conduct these investigations and there is tax money paid for such investigations. Why are we paying twice? or why is there double dipping in a tax crunch year? Is this another way to fund a county department by tapping in to State and Federal tax dollars?
