A STATE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE VOTED 10-2 YESTERDAY TO APPROVE THE AUDIT OF SALINAS VALLEY MEMORIAL HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. HOSPITAL OFFICIALS ARE THOUGHT TO HAVE “MISMANAGED MONEY” WHEN THEY PROVIDED RECENTLY RETIRED CHIEF EXECUTIVE SAM DOWNING WITH A NEARLY 4 MILLION DOLLAR SPECIAL RETIREMENT PACKAGE.
