Opinion
The Minimum Wage: How Much is Too Much?
Those who want to see it rise to $15 might end up harming some of the people they hope to help.Consider the minimum wage hike a stimulus program.
Inflation fears appear groundless.
The large effect I expect is a reduction in the pressure for unionization.

Judge Finds Fault With Gag Order in U.S. Attorney’s Subpoena
Judge Raymond J. Dearie ordered the office to produce a report on how often unapproved gag orders have been included in past subpoenas."At a hearing on Thursday, Judge Dearie, who headed the same federal prosecutor’s office in the mid-1980s, said he expected a full accounting of whether prosecutors have been inserting similar warnings into other subpoenas. It was important, the judge said, to make sure “the assistants in the trenches get the message they are not at liberty to add language to grand jury subpoenas.”"
The prosecutors lose the accountants records as evidence.

Helping New York’s Southern Tier Recover
A reader urges Albany to enact more business-friendly policies.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/30/nyregion/new-yorks-southern-tier-once-a-home-for-big-business-is-struggling.html
The towns have lost their reasons for being.
Most of the towns lost those reasons long ago.
Highway subsidies are a major part of the loss

The Coast Guard made the decision after searching six days for 33 crew members of the 790-feet commercial tanker, which sank last week during Hurricane Joaquin.I will be surprised if El Faro or her crew show up.

A New Penn Station
A Municipal Art Society official says the current building is operating well beyond its capacity and must be replaced.Mom and apple pie.
Madison Square Garden will have to move again.
The East River also needs new tunnels.
Transhudson freight service would also be good.

Three weeks after declaring his innocence stemming from a sexual assault investigation, the Blackhawks’ Kane returned to the ice against the Rangers, using the N.H.L. season opener as a something of a public hiding place.http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/18/sports/hockey/blackhawks-patrick-kane-says-he-has-done-nothing-wrong.html
It looks like attempted blackmail.
