A wealthy CEO who improved the sea-view from her $3.5million Maine vacation home by poisoning her wealthy neighbor’s trees faces fresh criminal investigation after paying $1.7 million in fines and settlements.

Amelia Bond secretly sprinkled four pounds of the lethal herbicide Tebuthiuron on trees belonging to Lisa Gorman in 2022, before offering to pay for their removal when they started dying.

Bond, former head of the $500 million St Louis Foundation, has since paid $1.5 million in compensation to Gorman after tests revealed her ploy.

Argh! 

I think that just a fine is not enough.  Time to teach these folks a lesson.  I’d bar them from the State until the trees grow back.  Maybe some jail time in Missouri, or Haiti might teach them a lesson.  Throw the book at these entitled fools.

A Catholic fraternity is taking the White House to court after it was banned from holding an annual mass it has staged at a national cemetery for more than 60 years.

The Knights of Columbus has held a Memorial Day mass at the Poplar Grove National Cemetery in Virginia every year since 1960.

But it is claiming religious discrimination after the National Park Service (NPS) decided the religious service amounted to a ‘demonstration’ and decided to ban it on the Petersburg site.
