LOS ANGELES (CNS) - City Attorney Mike Feuer announced today that a coalition that includes the city and county of Los Angeles has reached a resolution in a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Census Bureau to extend the census processing time previously reduced by four months, a move the plaintiffs say would have made it impossible to count each person.
