Back wages, calculated at the state minimum for twenty years, which is not what the work was worth and is, Cordelia said, “what the law can count.”
And a referral — separate, to a different office — for the workers’ compensation filing and the insurance claim on a mixer whose guard was in a box in a basement.

The guard is in an evidence locker.
The mixer case ended in October.
