Kansas City, MO – The Diocese of Kansas City and St Louis will pay 225-thousand dollars to an Independence man allegedly abused as an alter boy in the early 1970s. The case is one of the first of many considered under a new interpretation of Missouri's statute of limitations.

Defunded, but not defeated.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
