'You know that snowstorm over Thanksgiving weekend really took a toll on the restaurants so the timing of restaurant week couldn't have been better. It really boosted their business. We heard back from a lot of different resturant owners that they were just thrilled with the results,' said Chris Temple, director of communications for VisitErie.
Temple said restaurant owners reported not only seeing a lot of repeat customers but also a lot of new customers which is the goal of restaurant week.

Colorado man sentenced to six years in prison for stealing nearly $1 million from friends
A Denver who misrepresented himself as a legitimate investment broker was recently sentenced on securities fraud and theft and ordered to repay $966,045 he obtained from a half dozens friends and acquaintances. Jason Lobins, 48, pleaded guilty and was sentenced Aug. 8 in Denver District Court. A month earlier, he pleaded not guilty in a separate but similar case in El Paso County. That case is headed to trial in October. More on that later. According to court documents in the Denver case, Lobins began telling friends in March 2019 that he was certified with the U.S. Securities and Exchange commission and had established a wealth management fund. The fund would have an initial total value of $650,000, Lobins reportedly told investors -- all of whom he had a relationship of some degree with. Lobins provided investment agreements and promised monthly statements on the earnings, yearly tax documents, yearly audits of his investments by a third party, and projected a 28% return on investments for the fiscal year 2019, per the arrest affidavit. Lobins started receiving funds from his investor friends the next month. The scheme began to unravel as soon as the first victim attempted to make a withdrawal at the end of that month. Jared Stoots of Denver gave Lobins $80,000 in September 2019. "He was a neighbor and a family friend. My daughter and I spent Christmas Eve and Thanksgiving with him" the year before things turned sour, Stoots told CBS Colorado. Lobins signed a promissory note to repay the full amount in 10 days or suffer a 5% late charge every day. The money never arrived. When contacted, Lobins told Stoots the transfer was due to a bank error - a line he used on almost every victim in his case, according to the affidavit. Later, Lobins told Stoots he was suing the bank to unfreeze his assets. But Denver investigators never found evidence of such a lawsuit being filed. Nor did they find any evidence Lobins had a investment broker's license. Nor did they find any evidence Lobins had registered an investment fund. To compound matters, Stoots was on the verge of buying his first home at the time. "When I tried to get the money, he came up with all these excuses, and I lost the house a week from close," Stoots said. "And he went radio silent." Stoots said complaining to his one-time time about the missing money "just made me sound like a sketchy person." But he persisted and eventually filed a civil suit against Lobins. "I could accept that the money was gone," Stoots said. "I couldn't accept doing nothing." When Lobins didn't show up, the judge awarded Stoots more than half a million dollars in a default judgement. None of that money has made its way to Stoots, either. And Lobins, at the time, walked freely in the neighborhood despite Denver's criminal investigation. "I thought this was pretty open and shut," Stoots said. "He had a warrant, doesn't drive a car," and should be easy to arrest. "That was five years ago." It was during this time that Lobins made death threats against Stoots in conversations with mutual friends, according to Stoots. Recordings of the alleged threats were provided to Denver prosecutors, but discounted since the threats were not delivered directly to him, Stoots claimed. "I just hope the next person in my situation has a little more support," Stoots said. The case turned last year when Stoots sought publicity for the case in the media. Five other victims "came out of the woodwork," as Stoots described, including one who was a friend of Lobins since grade school. Investigators accelerated their efforts and Lobins was arrested at a local bar. "I think I was so emotionally exhausted by the time everything was validated" by the arrest and the charges from the Colorado Division of Securities. "He had told me he had cancer, was bringing up his had just been through so much. It's really difficult going from trying to help somebody to realizing nothing they say is true." The plea deal reached between Lobins and Denver's prosecutors was against the wishes of all six victims, Stoots said. And he doesn't agree with the sentence, either, considering the judge removed more than a year from the six-year prison term for time Lobins had already spent behind bars for the case. On top of that, the alleged death threats have Stoots feeling uneasy about Lobins's eventual release. He said he has installed a home security system, purchased a gun, and no longer lets his daughter walk home from school. "I'll be looking over my shoulder." In the upcoming El Paso County trial, Lobins is accused of approaching a longtime friend in 2023 and claiming he was dying cancer, as stated in the arrest affidavit. Lobins told the man that he had money to give away and wanted to invest in the man's coffee shop in downtown Colorado Springs, and potentially buy the friend a hotel. Lobins instructed them to pay fees to start the joint business venture. The man and his wife sent Lobins more than $9,000 before losing their faith in him. According to the affidavit in the Colorado Springs case, Lobins put off their complaints by complaining about his health and cell phone. Lobins pleaded not guilty to theft in July in that case.

Lake Station City Hall could reopen in November
Closed since early June when a burst fire sprinkler pipe flooded most of the building, Lake Station City Hall could reopen around Thanksgiving. Chief of Staff Adrian Vera said a lengthy insurance claim process has slowed progress, but he said the faulty pipe will soon be replaced. Once that's completed, he said there will be an inspection of the rest of the system, which will be repeated every five years, and it will be pressure-tested to make sure there are no more issues and it's safe. After those assurances, Vera said construction and repairs can begin. 'Our goal is to push the insurance company and push the contractor to get in there before Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, the city has an array of white trailers in the city hall parking lot. Vera said Internet, phone lines and software have all been installed in each of the five trailers. 'It's just like we're in the building,' he said. He said a trailer is designated for each department, including the mayor, clerk-treasurer, sewage, building, and courts. The city council has been holding its meetings at Lake Station Edison High School's community room. City hall flooded June 7 after the pipe burst, leaving water damage across the building and ruining technology equipment. The police department, on the building's west side, was not damaged.

Elon Musk's DOGE threw government contracts into chaos. This startup is cashing in.
From the moment he became de facto head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Elon Musk seemed intent on carving up the federal bureaucracy like a Thanksgiving turkey. Thousands of federal employees were laid off, entire departments folded, and contracts worth billions of dollars were scrapped. That mayhem created a lucrative opening for one startup. In the first half of this year, Legalist, a San Francisco lender founded by one of tech billionaire Peter Thiel's fellows, extended more than $100 million to dozens of government contractors scrambling for cash. Founder Eva Shang says that's about twice what it deployed in the three years since launching its government business. The company has doubled its origination team to meet demand, Shang said, and closed $40 million from new investors in June to expand the strategy. Legalist is best known as a litigation funder. It uses algorithms to scan court dockets, backs cases it thinks are likely to win, and takes a cut of any settlement. In 2022, at the urging of an investor tied to a university endowment, it branched into "government receivables," providing upfront cash to contractors for goods or services they've already delivered but haven't yet been paid for. Legalist takes its cut when the government eventually settles up. That sideline became a profit center under the Trump administration, as contract terminations, stop-work orders, and spending freezes choked off cash for contractors. DOGE says it's canceled about $58 billion in contracts, while a recent Politico analysis said that number was inflated by "accounting tricks" and claims that couldn't be verified. The White House defended DOGE's math, but Politico said it could identify $1.4 billion in money that was actually clawed back from contractors through July. The White House did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. Federal rules let contractors recover money when policy shifts derail their work — either by adjusting the contract if the pause drove up costs, or by settling up if the job is canceled. But in the meantime, those contractors have bills to pay, creating a billion-dollar opportunity for private credit lenders like Legalist and its largely regional competitors. (Shang says the company targets an interest rate of at least 12%, above the cost of capital at traditional banks.) Legalist now has over 50 borrowers. One is a privately held international developer that incurred nearly $200 million in debt for services already rendered after Trump's sweeping freeze on foreign aid payments. Another is a manufacturer of aerospace engine parts that contracts with both the Department of Defense and private-sector clients. In March, the Pentagon moved to slash over $580 million in programs, grants, and contracts. Where Musk's cost-cutting frenzy whipped the contracting world into a maelstrom, Legalist has ridden the wave to new heights. Call it a DOGE bump. Earlier this year, a group of foreign aid groups sued the Trump administration for refusing to spend billions of dollars that Congress had budgeted for federal grants and other programs. Federal judges then ruled to block parts of the funding freeze from taking effect. An appeals court has now allowed the freeze on foreign aid payments to stand, not because the withholding is lawful, but because the plaintiffs did not have the legal standing to sue. (The decision doesn't alter federal rules letting contractors recover their costs, says Brian Rice, general counsel of Legalist.) Shang says the ruling is unlikely to affect Legalist's pipeline. That's because the lawsuit pertains to federal grants and other programs, not the contracts that Legalist funds against. "Some of the grants that Trump canceled, he's well within his right to cancel," she said. The decision does, however, seep uncertainty into Legalist's world — a dynamic that could keep up demand for its advances, even as it makes collecting on them murkier.
