Cap-and-trade is extended, missing student loan paperwork, more people are living in motor homes in LA

Cap-and-trade bill finally gets approval, some borrowers may have their student loans forgiven, 20 percent more people are living in motor homes from 2016.

In this file photo, Darlene Knoll, 53, takes a moment to herself, Wednesday, June 4, 2008, in the Los Angeles neighborhood where she resides with five dogs in her battered 1978 motor home after losing her job and home five years earlier. Under an Assembly bill meant to protect homeless people, local governments could not punish people caught sleeping in cars. AB718 advanced to the Senate on Monday, June 1, 2015, with a 54-to-12 vote.
