There are new reports of mismanagement today by the public retirement system. Traveling from the US to Mexico is going to get harder. And is Attorney General Jerry Brown committing a "theft of public property" by denying access to his records as Governor?

We hear about growing evidence and some new signals of seriousness from the National Football League.
