Thousands have people who were abused at an Ontario centre for the developmentally disabled have been waiting for a promised settlement -- and until the government gets its act together, they'll keep waiting...The mayor of a California city wants people to know local protests aren't aimed at the influx of undocumented immigrants -- they're aimed straight at Washington, DC...and citing back problems that developed during his presidential run, Texas governor Rick Perry reluctantly swears off cowboy boots -- which spurs his bootmaker to action.

Part One

Huronia Centre settlement delayed
Paperwork delays have pushed back settlements for the thousands who survived abuse in Ontario's institutions for developmentally challenged children. Now one representative warns that some may not survive to see a dime.
