Riverside County To Receive $1.6M in Rite Aid Settlement
On Tuesday, a San Joaquin County judge said that Riverside County will receive more than $1.6 million as its share of a $12.3 million settlement between California local governments and Rite Aid. The suit -- led by Los Angeles, San Joaquin and Riverside counties -- claimed that more than 600 California Rite Aid locations unlawfully disposed of toxic wastes and materials during a six-and-a-half-year period.
