Samuel Downing Under Fire For $4 Million Retirement Package
SALINAS, Calif. — A state lawmaker has called for an audit of a hospital district that awarded its CEO nearly $4 million in retirement payments in addition to his $150,000 annual pension.
State Assemblyman Luis Alejo said Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System might have prioritized executive benefits over patient care.
"We're interested in finding out through the audit whether the hospital is putting the needs of the community first," said Sasha Horwitz, a spokesman for Alejo, a Democrat who represents Watsonville.
The district has eliminated about 600 positions through layoffs and attrition since January 2010 – a situation noted by Alejo in an April 25 letter to the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, which was expected to hear the audit request on May 11.
