One of Burlington's busiest, high-turnover garages will no longer offer a two-hour free parking option.
The city's Public Works Commission unanimously approved last week a new parking pay structure for downtown garages that eliminates the first two hours free at the Marketplace garage.

"Two hours free, that's been here for 25 years, so that change will be noticed — there is no doubt," interim assistant director for parking and traffic Jeff Padgett said during his proposal pitch to the Commission . "But we've talked to the business community and they are OK with that."
Quite a lot has been going on:

How one economist views his profession ignoring racism - Marketplace
Kai Ryssdal: This is a densely packed, three-or-so-page letter, and rather than me synopsize it, what is the point you want to make to your fellow economists?
William Spriggs: For too long, economists have dodged the issue of racism and discrimination. Our built-in instinct is that discrimination does not exist. And economists don’t want to admit the history of race at the founding of modern economics at the beginning of the 20th century. And implicit in our models ends up being an assumption that somehow or another, in some way or fashion, African Americans are inferior.
Quaker Oats is retiring the Aunt Jemima brand because of its origins in "a racial
Quaker Oats has announced that Aunt Jemima, the syrup and pancake mix brand, will be dropping its name and image as the conversation continues over racial injustice in policing and American society.
Marielle Segarra : If you get a bottle of Aunt Jemima pancake syrup, you'll see the image of a Black woman wearing a white shirt and pearl earrings. But that is the just the latest version. The brand actually goes back to the late 1800s.

Cannabis Product Recalls Raise Significant Questions for Business Owners Across the Marketplace -
In mid-May, the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority (OMMA) issued the state's first cannabis recall. The agency pulled back vape products and mints from a manufacturing company in Edmond, citing concentrations of the fungicide myclobutanil.
And while cannabis product recalls like that aren't coming down every day in the industry, they are still a common enough feature that it's helpful for companies to plan ahead and think through what this unfortunate process might look like. Alex Hearding, chief risk management officer for the National Cannabis Risk Management Association (NCRMA) says that recalls come hand in hand with an industry still forming out of an illicit past.
