By Patrick Whittle | Associated PressPORTLAND, Maine — Chipotle Mexican Grill has agreed to pay $240,000 to former employees as part of a settlement stemming from a complaint that the company violated federal law by closing a restaurant where workers wanted to unionize.Chipotle announced it was permanently closing its Augusta, Maine, location last year after workers filed a National Labor Relations Board petition for a union election.

The news that 92-year-old Rupert Murdoch is engaged to be married for the fifth time hasn’t just sparked the predictable jokes, it has raised questions about his future bride, a 66-year-old former dental hygienist-turned San Francisco socialite and model and radio personality from California’s Central Valley.Up until Murdoch’s announcement, Ann Lesley Smith was relatively unknown outside of Modesto or of Christian and conservative broadcasting circles. Her claim to fame in those circles was as the widow of Chester Smith, a wealthy Modesto-based TV mogul and former country singer who died in 2008.“We’re both looking forward to spending the second half of our lives together,” says the 92 year old…..clearly planning to live to 184. https://t.co/Sva7oBln0G— Jon Sopel (@jonsopel) March 20, 2023In interviews, Smith liked to say that her life was a “rags to riches” story. “I’ve been rich and I’ve been poor, rich and then poor,” Smith said in a 2017 inte...

California nears approval of nation’s first Big Oil watchdog. Here’s how it would work.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:16:41 GMT

California lawmakers are working at breakneck speed on Monday to pass legislation that would create the country’s first watchdog body tasked with investigating the oil industry in a bid to tamp down the Golden State’s high gas prices.The bill, SBX 1-2, which is expected to pass the State Assembly as early as Monday, is the culmination of a bitter battle between Gov. Gavin Newsom and some of the country’s largest oil companies after the state saw gas prices topping $6.40 a gallon twice last year. After a large dip over the winter, California gas prices have slowly ticked higher to an average of $4.82 on Monday.Newsom slammed the industry for “price gouging,” an accusation that gained political traction after oil giants reported historic profits. But industry representatives said the state’s environmental regulations, high taxes, and the transition away from fossil fuels are the cause of high prices and an increasingly volatile gas market.“The...

King Charles honors aristocrat at center of William cheating rumors

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 17:16:41 GMT

A recent decision by King Charles III doesn’t just highlight the head-scratching traditions behind British royal titles, it is likely to revive talk about the persistent but unsubstantiated rumor that Prince William became too friendly — or even had an affair — with a glamorous neighbor whose aristocratic husband has a family estate near William and Kate Middleton’s country home in Norfolk.The glamorous neighbor is the Marchioness of Cholmondeley, a 39-year-old former “bohemian” model better known as Rose Hanbury. She’s married to 62-year-old David Rocksavage, the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley.Last week, the Daily Mail reported that Charles had named Rocksavage his “Lord-in-Waiting,” a prestigious position that means that the British peer — and presumably his wife — will attend important state and royal events, likely including Charles’ May 6 coronation. The couple also will be called upon to represent the king o...
