Other tidbits from the Grand Jury Report

*Sacramento County currently pays its pharmacists for health clinics 10% less than neighboring counties and 25-35% less than area hospitals. Temporary pharmacists are actually paid anywhere between 30 and 50% more than permanent hires. This pay scale problem has left a shortage of pharmacists, according to the report.

* The City and County are continuing to allow development in areas that do not have 100-year flood protection. Potential flood depths in some areas are greater than 15 feet. The report recommends that all building in North Natomas stops immediately until at least 100 year flood protection is achieved.

*The Education committee toured several area high schools and listed several components of the programs at each school. None of these snapshots shows any critique of the schools or programs. It is simply a short summary of the committee's tour of the campus and a description of the programs. It reads more like a marketing brochure for each school.
