On the evening of July 27, 2015, while much of the public attention was focused on thousands of firefighters battling wildfires in the western United States, the crew of a 738-foot Maltese bulk freighter fought a fire in the engine room of their ship some 120 miles off the coast of California. When one of the generators onboard the motor vessel Maribella caught fire, an automatic mist system activated, and the ship\’s crew quickly donned their firefighting gear and extinguished the blaze.

t’s bad enough for a local government to use eminent domain to seize personal property, but it’s even worse when that land grab happens immediately through an expedited process known as \”quick-take\” eminent domain. In public projects involving the \”making or repairing\” of a road, local government can take possession of a disputed property immediately after it files for eminent domain. The case does not have to go through the normal court process.

The showdown between Uber and Pennsylvania has escalated, and it’s getting expensive.

A pair of Pennsylvania judges on Tuesday recommended a massive $50 million fine against ride-sharing company Uber for operating in the state without a license and for resisting the state Public Utility Commission’s efforts to obtain information about how many rides Uber has provided in the state.

RESPECT OUR AUTHORITY: Uber began operating in the Pittsburgh area in February 2014, without first getting permission from the state’s regulators.

Uber began operating in the Pittsburgh area in February 2014, without first getting permission from the state’s regulators. Though both Uber and Lyft, a competing ride-sharing service, later received a two-year operational permit from the state PUC, the commission’s Board of Investigation and Enforcement is seeking to collect a penalty for the period of time when Uber was operating without a license.

\”Uber meets the definition of a common carrier and was required to have authority from the Commission to provide transportation,\” wrote judges Mary Long and Jeffrey Watson in Tuesday’s decision.

Operating without a government-issued permission slip means Uber was \”placing the public at risk,\” the two judges concluded.

They decided that Uber had been in violation of state regulations from February 11, 2014, through August 20, 2014, and imposed a $49.8 million fine.
