Is California Ready for more Water Wars? ()

Will Cooley File Charges Against the Archdiocese? ()

LA’s Roman Catholic Archdiocese has promised to pay six hundred and sixty million dollars to the five-hundred and eight victims of sex abuse by priests. It’s the biggest such settlement in the country. In other jurisdictions, local prosecutors have filed criminal charges too. Yesterday on our program, one Los Angeles victim asked why LA District Attorney Steve Cooley hasn’t done the same thing.
