Letters from California Atty. Gen. Rob Bonta advise more than 200 landlords and hotels that they've been accused of violating the state's price-gouging law.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta on Thursday announced his office has opened investigations into reports of price-gouging in the Southern California areas ravaged by devastating wildfires. “We have boots on the ground conducting investigations as we speak,” he said in a Thursday press conference.
