Volkswagen Takes a Big Hit in Emissions Scandal
A record settlement, in Volkswagen’s pollution case.
FOX’s Jeff Monosso has the details:

(McCarthy) “It should send a very clear message that when you break the laws designed to protect public health in this country, there are serious consequences.”
That’s EPA administrator Gina McCarthy. The settlement also doesn’t deal with the nine million tainted VW made vehicles in Europe.
