A Budget Finally Passes, but Schwarzenegger Says He'll Veto It ()

Reporter's Notebook
LA Times Employees Sue Their New Owners ()
When Sam Zell bought the Tribune Company, including the LA Times, he only invested $315 million. The $8.2 billion arrangement burdened the company with $13 billion in debt, in a so-called Employee Stock-Ownership Plan. But that ESOP also made the employee pension plan the majority owner, and that may come back to haunt Zell.
