psychiatric hospital is one that should keep her from this position. >> reporter: the question is, why is she allowed to run? well, according to about why she has been allowed to run it has to do with her not being convicted of a felony. i tried to get the records from that incident back in 1998, to see if she had actually been convicted of a felony or if she's going to be allowed because she's not -- because she's not been allowed to be convicted of a felony. i'm still trying to get ahold of her to get her side of the story. kraig debro, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right, kraig. thank you. 7:02. now we're getting details about an aggressive public relations campaign launched by b.a.r.t. to try to sway opinions of those demonstrators targeting b.a.r.t. claudine wong is live at the powell street station in san francisco to explain what

congressional seat vacated by democrat anthony weiner. weiner resigned following a sting scandal. -- a sex sting scandal. >> we've had it with the policy that endangers the economy and every one of our social networks. >> this is the first time this seat has been held by a republican in 90 years. 7:49. a group of nail salon workers is accusing their employer of wage theft and other violations. they filed a lawsuit yesterday against natalie's salon. current and former workers say they often worked more than ten hours a day but were never paid overtime. they were also forced to not
