Board halts muzzling order on Ward probes
Supervisors voted 5-0 to rescind a controversial order requiring an extra supervisor present during county time interviews by Ward staff. The move clears the way for a possible special investigative unit answerable to the board. Ward released findings on drug misuse at County USC Medical Center and criticized a doctor’s report as unfounded. Debs questioned desk access while Hahn opposed the order, and Schabarum proposed limiting it to supervisor investigations.
