MINNEAPOLIS (KMSP) – The sexual abuse survivors have voted for a plan in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis bankruptcy case.
In December 2016, a U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge decided the survivors would vote on the two proposed reorganization plans.
The Archdiocese submitted one plan and the Creditors’ Committee submitted the other. Last May, the Archdiocese filed its plan, which called for a total of $155 million in payments to abuse survivors and other creditors – with $65 million coming from the Archdiocese and the rest from insurance.
Attorneys representing the survivors believed the Archdiocese was attempting to conceal its assets. The survivors and the Creditors’ Committee submitted their plan, which states the Archdiocese would provide $80 million and more to be received from insurance in payments to survivors.
