	Abuse Victims Protest Fairbanks Diocese Bankruptcy Plan By Rachel D'oro KTUU October 29, 2009 http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=11409945 ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Elsie Boudreau received $1 million from the Fairbanks Catholic diocese to settle her sexual abuse claims against a priest, so four years later she's appalled that almost 300 more victims are being offered a guaranteed $5,500 each. Boudreau says it's like another round of abuse from the diocese, which this week submitted a second reorganization plan to a bankruptcy court judge. Kasey Nye, a Tucson, Ariz., attorney representing the diocese, says that amount is just a minimum in secured pay to settle the claims and more will be paid out later. The diocese filed for bankruptcy protection last year. It serves 46 parishes spread out over more than 400,000 square miles of Alaska.
