Not probably a real problem, as best I can tell. New landlords bought the property and won’t renew Boebert’s lease. But according to one report, Boebert and new landlords are negotiating for maybe Boebert to buy the property and become her own landlord. Failing that, Boebert could probably just find another location and move her restaurant there. ---

A Sacramento city council member is being investigated as to whether he lives in his district. If he isn’t, it’s a violation of the city charter. He may not even live in the city. At the same time, He’s being investigated by the Department of Labor for threatening to have employees deported who cooperated in a previous investigation by Labor against his grocery stores for several employment law violations. The Department of Labor has been investigating him for over ten years with no results. > **[Feds sue Sacramento councilman for threatening to deport employees helping...](https://www.sacbee.com/news/local/article262759178.html)** > > The lawsuit alleges Sean Loloee threatened to deport employees who cooperated with feds. ---

The EEOC is suing a company in North Carolina for firing two employees for refusing to take part in prayer meetings. I’m sure the Supreme Court will rule that the firings were appropriate.

So, fundamentalist Christian pharmacists can’t be forced to do their jobs when it’s a matter of filling prescriptions for emergency contraception because it’s against their religious beliefs, but non-Christian employees can be forced to attend company prayer meetings although it’s against their religious beliefs. Makes perfect sense. ---

Years ago, we had a rabid christian at work. I told him, “_Do as you will in the break room, but no preaching on the shop floor_,” which was entirely reasonable at the time, but this SCotUS might rule that we were infringing on his 1A rights.
