In big swaths of western Washington state, Catholic providers are becoming the only source of health care for miles around. So what does that mean for Washington citizens, who have approved same-sex marriage, assisted suicide, legalized pot and strong abortion protections?

A new report finds indigent alcoholics and addicts in New York living in hazardous conditions where building code violations, overcrowding, vermin infestations, and drug use are common. It’s all part of a system where “sober” home operators funnel residents to specific treatment clinics allegedly in return for kickbacks.

Although the treatment programs are state-licensed, no government agency wants to take ownership of the homes – leaving tenants at landlords’ mercy.

More than two years ago, Montana investigators received a trove of files pointing to possibly illegal coordination between candidates and a dark money group called Western Tradition Partnership. In a first for campaign-finance intrigue, the documents had been found in a meth house in Colorado. A federal grand jury subpoenaed the documents last December as part of an investigation into the group.

Former WTP official Christian LeFer and his wife, Allison LeFer, sued after stories about the documents appeared in Frontline and ProPublica, trying to get their papers back.

Yesterday a federal judge ruled in their case: The LeFers lost in almost every way possible....

Last week, the New York Federal Reserve tried to seal documents in a lawsuit brought by former examiner Carmen Segarra, who says the Fed fired her because she found problems with Goldman Sachs' conflict-of-interest policy.

But today, a federal judge rejected the Fed's plea. "I am not convinced that anything will be accomplished to seal or redact a complaint that is publicly available,” U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams said. http://propub.ca/15F4boK
