SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Lawmakers demanded Thursday that the California Department of Justice provide details about tens of millions of dollars in contracts it erroneously labeled as confidential, shielding them from public view.
Members of a state Senate subcommittee said they would not approve parts of the department's budget until it complied.
"I'm concerned that you have called all these confidential when they probably didn't need to be called confidential," Sen. Michael Machado, the Democratic chairman of the committee, told department officials at the first formal hearing into the concealed contracts.
