Machado asks for Delta board audit

State Sen. Michael Machado, D-Linden, has asked the office of California state Controller John Chiang to conduct an audit of the San Joaquin Delta College Board of Trustees in the wake of reports that the board has mismanaged voter-approved bond money.

Machado said in a statement this week that he wants a "thorough review of exactly how Measure L funds have been spent."

Measure L is the $250 million bond passed in 2004.

A San Joaquin County civil grand jury in June said the board has squandered millions, particularly in its decision to pursue a south-county campus in Mountain House rather than Tracy.

The campus has yet to be built.
