Due to a reporting error in “Westhaven residents air complaints,” Government News, April 24, 2007, we incorrectly stated that “a generous donation from IMPACT, a group of local faith congregations, paid off $17,000 in overdue rent for nearly 80 residents of city public housing.” In fact, the money was given directly by several local congregations, only some of which are aligned with IMPACT (Interfaith Movement Promoting Action by Congregations).

Due to a reporting error in “More money for fair trials,” Courts & Crime News, May 1, 2007, we incorrectly stated that the entry-level salary for a Virginia public defender was raised to $55,234 from $48,880. In fact, that is the salary for a level “II,” or experienced public defender. Entry-level public defenders make $48,183, up from $42,640.
