CA: California attorney general says fixing sex offender database would cost $15 million a year.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Tracking the more than 33,000 convicted sex offenders missing from California's Megan's Law database would cost an extra $15 to $20 million a year, the state's attorney general said Thursday.
