College Students Could Lose Cal Grant Financial Aid

The California Student Aid Commission hopes to find a solution to a problem affecting about a thousand college students. The commission says it may have given Cal Grants to students who did not graduate from a California high school, and were therefore not eligible to receive the aid. As of today, the students have two weeks left to prove that they meet eligibility requirements or risk losing the aid.


Transportation Infrastructure

Across California, counties have fallen decades behind in road maintenance, and many are struggling to fund even the most basic repairs. In real dollars, California spends less today on transportation improvements than it did in the 1960s. Now a proposed Senate bill would put billions of dollars back into transportation. But across the state, officials at the county level say even this $10 billion bond measure wouldn't come close to solving California's mounting transportation troubles. Reporter: Shia Levitt
