Can you find it at nbcbayarea. Com. Why does it take so long to report and how could it have happened. Angry parents met with administrators at a preschool. A staff member was arrested for allegedly trying to drug toddlers. The meeting just ended. Reporter the meeting lasted for over an hour, parents say the day care explained the situation and how everything unfolded. But it seems that nothing was said that could put at least most of these parents at ease. Dozens of mothers and fathers were visibly upset after tonights meeting with Kiddie Academy administrators. Most of them refused to speak on camera, one said its been a really hard night. Nobody got crazy and had a fight or what would you characterize the parents as being, most of them . All of them if not very angry is it. They know they messed up. And notifying the parents. Last friday morning, 59yearold debra gratz was caught putting sominex into the sippy cups of the children. The kids did not drink from the cups and the woman was fired. The day care didnt notify police until monday and some parents say they didnt find out until tuesday. How could they sleep and how could they go through the weekend knowing whats happening. Not notifying the parents. The parents the kids that were in there, could have been tested, but waiting until monday probably would have been out of their systems. When i first heard about it was 7 30 in the morning from the Morgan Hill Police department. I knew nothing on friday, i knew nothing on monday. And i knew nothing over the weekend. That is my biggest frustration. Police investigators are also frustrated with Kiddie Academys timing, because valuable evidence was lost. Its entirely possible that this wasnt the first time gratz allegedly drugged kids at the day care. The investigation is continuing into that, and were looking into that to see if she in fact has done it for a longer period of time than just the one time. Now, according to the parents we talked to, Kiddie Academy told them the day care would be implementing new policies and procedures, but no specifics were given. The day care itself declined to comment to us on camera. Debra faces charges of felony child endangerment. Live in morgan hill, arturo santiago, nbc bay area news.

Government wastes your money, and a critical audit that has lang wished for three years. Back in 2010, the faa accused the city of san jose of illegally diverting funds from the san jose airport. Whats happened since then . Our chief Investigative Reporter has reviewed hundreds of documents. Its a paper trail that exposes dysfunction and hundreds of tax dollars. A series of breakdowns by the city, the faa and the san jose airport, the city manages the airport, federal rules prevent it from cashing in on the airports success. Its a snapshot of your government at work. Or maybe not at work. Welcome to San Jose International airport. Its an airport funded by your airfare. Your travel dollars, and its this draft audit, raising questions about where your money went. Its written by the federal aviation administration. Its critical of the city of san jose, and its funded by your tax dollars. What they found was, there were violations of the law. Gabe bruno is the executive director of the faa whistle blower alliance, and a former high ranking executive in the faa. The draft audit accuses the city of san jose of improperly using airport profits in three different areas. One of the red flags that that raises with me is why nobodys really asking questions about this. Specifically, the audit accuses the city of san jose of unlawfully diverting millions of dollars of airport revenue and government grantses into the citys fund. It means taxpayer money was taken and not used for the intention that it was supposed to be used for. The faa accused the city of san jose of illegally diverting funds. Thats a serious accusation, agreed . Well, of course those terms are serious. San jose city manager responded to an audit that accuses the city of charging the airport 11. 5 million in unnecessary rental costs for these 52 acres of city owned land west of the airport. It also accuses the city of overcharging the airport for basic services. Faa auditors caughted it unlawfully diverted airport revenue. San jose has nothing to hide. Were not afraid of answering tough questions. Although the city says its done nothing wrong, within the last year, city leaders decided to return nearly 6 million, a payment for overcharging the airport for services. The faa pointed out something that we felt we should take a look at. So we did that. The audit also raises serious questions about the faa. Take a look. The first sentence reads. The city of san diego has unlawfully diverted airport revenue by renting property to the San Diego International airport. The fa certainly should be embarrassed about the fact they started a report with the wrong name and the wrong city, identifying the wrong airport. Their initial draft report has the wrong city and the wrong airport . What does that say . It makes you wonder. His title reads aviation director. Bill sherry is the man in charge of san joses airport. I think we have to keep it in context that it is a very early draft that requires a lot more thought, a lot more collaborative involvement from both the faa and the city. Three years after taxpayers funded a twoweek audit by faa staff. That socalled collaborative process remains stalled. The highly critical audit remains incomplete. Its not acceptable to not finalize an audit after three years. Our review of hundreds of pages of emails and communications exposes and explains some of the government breakdowns. A june 2010 email from the faa auditor reads, our office is under staff. Those excuses are totally invalid and they are unacceptable. Theres no reason for that. Three years is more than enough time to resolve the issues that were found during that draft audit. And theres this email from airport director bill cherry, talking about the faa, he wrote, no communication either written or oral occurred until february 2011. It exposed seven months of no action. A sevenmonth delay. Help the taxpayers help the people that fly in and out of your airport understand how three years later this isnt finished. Well, i dont think thats one of the finer aspects of government, surely we would have all liked to have gotten it done sooner. The faa declined multiple requests by nbc bay area to explain that 3year delay to you in front of our camera, choosing instead to issue a written statement. The faas written response included the time it takes to complete an audit is not really relevant. If we determine that money needs to be repaid we will ensure all of the improperly diverted revenue is repaid. Baggage for southwest flight 3132. The faa has absolutely dropped the ball here. May be picked up at claim b2. Theres room to improve here, hopefully future audits wont go on for three years. San jose international airport. The city of san jose and the faa have not reached an agreement. Thats three years of your tax dollars funding a government audit and dozens of city and federal employees reviewing and responding with no conclusion. The faa has not backed down from this aggressive position, and the city continues to say its done nothing wrong undoubtedly, more information ahead.
