Bill would offer options to motorists to pay E-ZPass bills

A bill before the Maryland Senate requires the state to offer options for motorists to pay E-ZPass bills, including an installment plan. Brenda Weishaar told 11 News she can't believe the charges on her E-ZPass bill. She travels the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in her daily work commute from the Eastern Shore to Annapolis. Weishaar had to settle what she considers discrepancies in person, but she ended up paying the full balance on two statements that added up to $162. For months, Maryland deferred billing to give drivers a break during the pandemic. But now, toll bills are due, and in some cases, the amounts owed are staggering.

Turkish minister warns pro-Kurdish party it could face moves to ban it
Turkey's justice minister warned the country's main pro-Kurdish DEM party on Wednesday that it would face the risk of legal action, and even a closure case like its predecessor, if it did not distance itself from Kurdish militants. DEM, parliament's third largest party, was established last year as a successor to the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP), which is facing the prospect of closure over alleged militant links in a court case following a years-long crackdown. "In the past, closure cases were opened against parties for supporting terrorism," Justice Minister Yilmaz Tunc told reporters in Ankara, noting that some parties had been banned and that other cases were ongoing.

New orders for key U.S.-manufactured capital goods rose moderately in March and data for the prior month was revised lower, suggesting business spending on equipment was likely sluggish in the first quarter. Non-defense capital goods orders excluding aircraft, a closely watched proxy for business spending plans, increased 0.2% last month, the Commerce Department's Census Bureau said on Wednesday. Data for February was revised lower to show these so-called core capital goods orders rising 0.4% instead of 0.7% as previously reported.

Brian Reader, career criminal jailed for his role in Brink’s-Mat and Hatton Garden heists – obituary
Brian Reader, who has died aged 84, appeared to defy the adage that “crime does not pay”, making an estimated £200 million from robberies including the 2015 Hatton Garden safe-deposit heist and the 1983 Brink’s-Mat bullion theft; known as “the guvnor”, he cultivated an air of middle-class respectability and was described by one police officer as “a good, old-style villain [who] had a job to do and knew I did too”.
