Maine Panel Rejects Governor’s Request to Reconsider Moody’s Ruling
The Maine Human Rights Commission yesterday considered and denied a request from Governor LePage that the commission reconsider its finding that Moody’s Diner of Waldoboro was guilty of discrimination against an employee on religious grounds. They also voted to take no further action against Moody’s, such as taking them to court over the matter. The woman who was found to be the victim of discrimination intends to sue Moody’s in federal court, “out of reach of Maine politicians,” according to her attorney.
The many fans of Ocean Beach’s Hodad’s and the man who ran the burger stand, Mike “Bossman” Hardin, were shocked and grief-stricken at the news of Mr. Hardin’s untimely passing last month at the age of 56. This Saturday, friends and family of Mike Hardin will hold an event at Petco’s Park in the Park in San Diego in his honor, to begin at 11:11 a.m. and end at 12:30 p.m. There will be a special video tribute and live musical performances. The memorial is free and open to the public.
