On page B1 there is an article, Verizon Wireless to Pay Millions in Refunds for Data Charges. Verizon wrongfuly charged millions of people for internet or data use and now are refunding them for this mistake on their part. Customers have complained to Verizon, but were ignored, so they contacted the F.C.C. Verizon also frequently charges custumers when they accidently access their web browser. At the end on the article, Jeffrey Nelson, the spokesperson for Verizon neglected to comment on the range of payments Verizon would make in return. This article jumped out at me because I am a Verizon customer, and I have been wrongfully charged by them on several occasions. I believe it made the first page of the business section because millions of other people can relate to it in the same way.
In National News, California is cracking down on people living in vehicles, according to an article on A9. It is a feature that opens describing the days of a woman who lived in an R.V. in Venice Beach, CA. During the day she would run a business at the beach and during the night she would move inland to find somewhere to park and sleep. Thanks to new enforcements in California and Venice Beach, she may have to leave. Venice was known as the "slum of the sea." The weather used to welcome people that lived from their cars, and now in the recession, people who once lived in homes are being forced to live in their cars, making this worse. Now, new to a new ordinance, they are banned from parking in beach lots.
