# Kern County, California *County in California that appears in one at-issue pair in the Minnesota record* Kern County, California is a county in California. In this wiki's record it appears in one at-issue entry. That entry sets the cases Kern County opened in 1982 beside the cases in Scott County as a point of comparison.[^1] The record does not establish any further institutional, statutory or court detail about the county itself. The at-issue entry states that Kern County "opened its cases in 1982 — a year before Jordan." It also states that the cases produced at least thirty-six convictions, that thirty-four were overturned, and that the county paid nearly $10 million to settle claims.[^1] The same entry states that Scott County "produced dismissals and paid nothing."[^1] The entry lists one court source for these figures. That source is not among the documents carried in the record, so the figures are given here as the entry states them.[^1] ## Where Kern County is in California. Its place in the Minnesota record is as a comparison county.[^1] The at-issue entry dates the opening of the Kern County cases to 1982, one year before the matters it refers to as [[Jordan]]. It sets them against the outcomes it records for Scott County.[^1] ## In the at-issue record The entry is record AI-Scott-018.[^1] It is anchored to a White House presidential action of March 2025, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse*.[^2] That presidential action is cited as the federal instrument tied to the pair. It does not itself state the Kern County or Scott County figures.[^2] The entry draws its own conclusion: that the difference in who paid lay in the shape of the outcome rather than in conduct. That conclusion is the entry's framing. No court or agency finding in the record states it.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki at-issue record AI-Scott-018 (dossier §IV.1; source kind listed as court, domain law.resource.org) — states the 1982 opening of the Kern County cases, the conviction, overturn and settlement figures, and the Scott County comparison. The underlying court source is not among the record's allowed URLs, and the anchor in note 2 does not state these figures. [^2]: The White House, *Protecting America's Bank Account Against Fraud, Waste, and Abuse* (presidential action, March 2025) — the federal instrument to which at-issue record AI-Scott-018 is anchored. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/protecting-americas-bank-account-against-fraud-waste-and-abuse/
