The Diaper Deal That's Not as Generous as it Sounds California's taxpayer funded diaper program has sparked controversy over its potential for waste.
At the heart of the issue is a multimillion dollar contract awarded to Baby2Baby, a charity with ties to First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom's California Partners Project.
State officials had raised concerns about waste from the start, citing expert advice that newborns outgrow their first diapers in a matter of weeks.
