    Toxic Conditions in Southern California Waste Water

    For eight years, lakes, rivers and Santa Monica Bay have been polluted with sewage and industrial waste toxic enough to damage and kill aquatic plants and animals.  Enforcement officials are accused of looking the other way.  The Legislative Analyst says California is headed toward a "colossal" financial disaster. On this rebroadcast of today's To the Point, Barack Obama began a tough selling job today with an urgent warning about years of recession if Congress fails to enact his massive stimulus program.
