    Elected officials in the City of Compton may be facing criminal charges. They've been notified in a letter from the District Attorney that payments they've been receiving for sitting on certain commissions are against the law. We hear more from Aja Brown, the mayor of Compton, and from Karen Foshay, who reported the story for KCET's So-Cal Connected. She's now Senior Investigative Reporter for Al Jazeera America.
