West Virginia prison gets two life inmates transfer
Ly Nette Fromme and Sara Jane Moore, long time inmates in California, were moved to a federal facility in West Virginia this week. Moore, 47, is serving life for attempting to shoot Gerald Ford in 1975, while Fromme was convicted after pointing a pistol at Ford in Sacramento in 1975. The West Virginia wing expansion creates longer-term inmate housing, officials said.

Public suit asks voiding Rockwell California trade
A federal suit filed by the Military Audit Project on behalf of four businessmen seeks to invalidate a multi million dollar exchange between the government and Rockwell International core. The claim says the transfer violated property disposal laws and environmental requirements as the government swapped a Laguna Niguel building valued at 20 million for Rockwell plants in Canoga Park and El Segundo plus equipment worth 19.5 million, with later appraisals raising Rockwell’s new property to 27.3 million. The suit says the deal denied other bidders access to the assets and notes agency concerns from EPA and HUD about the Laguna Niguel site. The group emphasizes it investigates military contracts and is partly funded by Stewart Mott.
