Portantino Gets Audit of High Repair Bills

At the request of Assembly member Anthony Portantino, who represents part of Monrovia, the state's Joint Legislative Audit Committee today agreed to investigate charges of overcharging for repair work in state-owned properties along the 710 Freeway corridor. Portantino requested the audit into how Caltrans has managed state properties along the 710 Freeway right-of-way in the Pasadena area, after the LA Times reported finding roof repairs costing “four to five times what most homeowners could expect to pay for a new roof”.
