Syngenta to provide free heribicide to 15,000 farmers in Sindh“The era had come and gone, it’s time to go,” said Jameson Tavern owner Tom Hincks. The restaurant, located in a historic building at 115 Main St. in Freeport, will have its last day Saturday. The landmark restaurant was the continuation of a long tradition of taverns hosted in the space. But between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and an “expensive lease,” Hincks said it is time for change. “It was a wonderful thing, until COVID hit,” Hincks said. He noted that post-lockdown it was hard to find sufficient staff for the restaurant. On top of this, the owner said that the lease was up, giving the business the right opportunity to leave. Though Hincks said he had an option to re-sign, the cost of the monthly rent paired with other monthly fees needed to run the business in its current spot amounted to over $17,000 a month. The lease accounts for just under half of this total. Though the lease did not increase a significant amount this year — Hincks noted it only increases the standard 3% each year, a typical hike in the property rental industry — the restaurant said the rent had increased over 30% since it reopened in 2013. The cost alone was a signal to start over, he said. Now, the owner has his sights set on Windham for its next location, which is closer to his home. He also hinted that a spot in Windham could be better for business, as he expects to get more square footage and similar foot traffic. With the closing, however, Jameson Tavern — a name which Hincks’ owns the rights to and will take with him to the next location — breaks its tie with the historic Freeport building. Though some of the history is debated, the house at 115 Main St. was built in 1795 by Doctor John Angie’s Hyde and then sold to Capt. Samuel Jameson in 1801. Jameson converted the building into a tavern, according to an account by Maine Historian Earle Shettleworth, which is available on the Freeport Historical Society’s website. Shettleworth said Capt. Richard Codman bought the business in 1828, continuing tavern operations. Due to its location, this tavern relied on travelers as its customer base, Shettleworth said. But by 1844, the demand for lodging in town fell. The building eventually reverted back to a residential property. In 1988, new owners restored the building and revived the tradition of providing food and drinks to locals and tourists. It was long touted as the location where commissioners met in 1820 and signed the papers which separated Maine from Massachusetts — ergo, Freeport’s use of “the birthplace of Maine” tagline. Shettleworth, however, said that there is no evidence to support this claim and that Freeport actually voted against separation at least five times, though he did note that the pub was a location for several other political meetings. Hincks said it is unfortunate to lose the long — though complex and often misunderstood — history of the location on Main Street. The location has run as a tavern in some compacity for close to 80 years, spanning several centuries. “There’s a huge story line there — there’s so much history,” Hincks said. He hopes that the next tenant will at least continue the long-running tradition of prioritizing seafood, as Jameson Tavern has done. ”It’s what the people come here for.” Comments are not available on this story.

(The Center Square) – Billionaire and advisor to President-elect Donald Trump Elon Musk was denied by a judge this week a $56 billion compensation package for his work as CEO of Tesla, the successful electric automaker that pioneered EV technology in the U.S. The package had been approved by more than 70% of Tesla's board of directors. A Tesla shareholder who owned just nine shares of stock in the company sued to block the 2018 compensation agreement. In addition to blocking the package this week, the judge in the case, Delaware Chancellor Kathaleen McCormick, awarded the plaintiff's attorneys $345 million, which Reuters reported is “one of the largest fee awards ever in securities litigation.” The Associated Press reported that “the fee award amounts to almost exactly half the current record $688 million in legal fees awarded in 2008 in litigation stemming from the collapse of Enron.” The ruling was widely criticized as government overreach into the private sector. Cathie Wood, founder and CEO of ARKinvest, called the ruling a "mockery." "Adding judicial insult to injury, Delaware Judge McCormick has ordered #Tesla shareholders to pay the plaintiff’s lawyers $345 million! The plaintiff owned 9 shares of $TSLA," Wood wrote on X. "McCormick is making a mockery of the sense of fairness essential to our American judicial system." Pershing Square CEO Bill Ackman wrote: "This decision and the payola for lawyers is absurd. We are going to see a migration of Corporate America from Delaware." The unique compensation package was high risk, high reward. If Musk hit all of his target goals to make the company hugely successful, as he did, then he would be awarded the compensation package. If he did not hit those marks, he would receive zero dollars. Musk and Tesla vowed to appeal. McCormick first voided the pay agreement in January, saying it was unfair and that the Tesla board did not negotiate well enough with Musk. In response, a supermajority of more than 70% of Tesla shareholders voted to approve the payment package for Musk earlier this year, but again McCormick sided this week against Musk and Tesla shareholders. Musk called the ruling a form of “lawfare.” “Shareholders should control company votes, not judges,” Musk wrote on X. Many other Tesla shareholders blasted the decision and the attorney fee decision. "The lawyers, judges, and attorneys did not create net-positive shareholder value from this clownery," Alex Guichet, who said he is a Tesla employee, wrote on X. "They do not deserve a single dollar. We employees did. We supported the shareholder vote with our own yes votes too. This is wrong on so many levels." Shareholder Jeremy Goldman wrote: "The majority of the owners of the company have made their desires known and it's just crazy that a single judge can basically say haha, no. I don't really care what you want. Also pay a few hundred million for the privilege of being ignored." The plaintiff's attorneys praised the ruling. “We are pleased with Chancellor McCormick’s ruling, which declined Tesla’s invitation to inject continued uncertainty into Court proceedings and thank the Chancellor and her staff for their extraordinary hard work in overseeing this complex case,” attorneys from Bernstein, Litowitz, Berger & Grossmann, the firm representing Musk’s opponents, said in a statement. A November 2024 study published by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform found tort costs amounted to $529 billion in 2022, or 2.1 percent of U.S. GDP. The study found that excessive tort costs hurt the economy. "In addition to having a substantial aggregate cost on the economy, a large portion of the total tort-related expenditures go toward litigating and defending claims and lawsuits rather than compensating claimants,” authors of the study wrote.How Trump's bet on voters electing him managed to silence some of his legal woes《TAIPEI TIMES》 MAC to strictly scrutinize Chinese religious visitorsAntero Midstream: Buybacks Likely To Be Limited
