Conversation about: Lauded by supporters, IHSS faces criticism and cuts

I was more than a little disappointed in the statement that the Sacramento County Grand Jury "substantiated" Gov. Schwarzenegger's wild claims of "massive" fraud in the IHSS program. It did no such thing. The Grand Jury report, like the governor's statements, was heavy on heated remarks but lacked actual statistical proof to back up the claim of widespread fraud.

Every piece of documented statistical evidence we've seen shows the actual rate of IHSS fraud to be no more than one to two percent.
