Mark Zintel, a retiree who lives near Tampa, Fla., is furious that $700,000 in annuities he bought from an insurer have been frozen for almost four years. He is one of tens of thousands of people whose money was rendered unreachable as the empire of self-described billionaire Greg Lindberg slowly imploded.
Mississippi lawmakers passed a bill this year that would allow alcohol sales on Sunday, and North Carolina legislators introduced a measure that would allow happy-hour drink specials. Eleven states restrict the sale of wine in grocery stores, according to the Food Marketing Institute, which represents grocers, including Connecticut, Maryland and New York.
Yale Law School Dean Heather Gerken floated the idea past a small circle of colleagues. And then, on Nov. 16, she started the revolt. Like many university administrators, Ms. Gerken had tried for years to get U.S. News & World Report to rethink its law-school rankings. The problem for Ms. Gerken wasn’t Yale Law’s score—it had been No. She worried about the broader effect on schools and their priorities.
Laura Lynn Gonzalez expected a tax refund this year, after her two-employee data-visualization company experienced a $30,000 loss. Instead, she said, she is facing a $100,000 federal tax bill that is about as large as her 2022 salary. Ms. Gonzalez’s predicament stems from a piece of the 2017 tax law that is taking effect now. It requires companies to spread deductions for research costs over five years instead of taking them immediately.
EAST WINDSOR, Conn.—The front line of Connecticut’s latest alcohol policy debate is a strip mall just off the interstate here, where shoppers entering Geissler’s Supermarket and nearby Kaman’s Fine Wine and Liquors are greeted by signs urging them to take sides. On one end of the fight, grocers such as Geissler’s have launched a campaign this year to allow the sale of wine in grocery stores, a practice that is already legal in most states. They argue putting wine alongside the beer already on their shelves will make things more convenient for customers who can grab a bottle along with their groceries. It will also boost sales in a low-margin business.
