Columbus McKinnon says DOJ requests more information on Kito deal
In a regulatory filing, Columbus McKinnon (CMCO) stated, 'As previously disclosed, on February 10, 2025, Columbus McKinnon entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with Kito Crosby Limited, the equityholders of Kito, and Ascend Overseas Limited, pursuant to which Columbus McKinnon agreed to acquire all of the issued and outstanding equity of Kito. In connection with the Acquisition, Columbus McKinnon and KKR (KKR) North America Fund XI L.P., the ultimate parent entity of Kito, each filed the required notification and report forms under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, with the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission. On May 28, 2025, Columbus McKinnon and KKR each received a request for additional information and documentary material from the Antitrust Division in connection with the Antitrust Division's review of the Acquisition. The issuance of the Second Request extends the waiting period under the HSR Act until 30 days after both Columbus McKinnon and KKR have substantially complied with the Second Request, unless the waiting period is voluntarily extended by the parties or terminated earlier by the Antitrust Division. The parties have been working collaboratively with the Antitrust Division to bring its review of the Acquisition to a close as expeditiously as possible and will continue to do so. Completion of the Acquisition remains subject to the expiration or termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act and the satisfaction or waiver of the other customary closing conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.'

Nearly half a million sign up for child bus pass
The number of children using Jersey's bus company has risen by almost half a million since a cheaper bus pass was introduced. LibertyBus' AvanchiCard scheme gives children under 18 access to unlimited use of the service for £25 a year. The States voted to approve the plans in December 2021 as part of the Jersey Government Plan. Kevin Hart, director of LibertyBus, said 1.1m children used the school buses in 2024, up from 650,000 in 2021. Despite having reservations at the start, Mr Hart said the scheme had been "hugely successful". "I wasn't in favour because I knew young people would catch a bus for one or two stops, and then get off," he told BBC Radio Jersey. "But now 20% of our passengers are children, which is a really good thing because they are the future bus users." Mr Hart added that the fact the school buses are so full means fewer cars are on the roads for the school run. "[Children] accept that the bus is convenient and it's actually given parents so much more freedom. They don't have to pick them up or drop them off at school," he said.

Honolulu Council to review $11M in general obligation bonds for rail
Mayor Rick Blan giardi's administration has requested more funding to pay the city's required annual subsidy toward the Hono lulu Authority for Rapid Transportation's construction of the over-$10 billion rail line. To that end, the City Council on Wednesday is scheduled to review for adoption Resolution 150. If approved, the resolution will authorize the city Department of Budget and Fiscal Services director to issue and sell $11 million in general obligation bonds for fiscal year 2026, starting July 1. GO bond proceeds will finance capital costs for Skyline. Joey Manahan, HART's director of government relations and public involvement, told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser the city subsidy is part of Honolulu's overall $214 million financial plan for rail. 'It's an annual disbursement of city money to HART, ' he added. 'It's in the city budget.' This year the city's disbursement to HART was anticipated to be $10 million. But in a May 15 letter to the Council regarding Resolution 150, BFS Director Andy Kawano asserted that the requested $11 million principal amount of '$10, 000, 000 is the city subsidy for fiscal year 2026 which is included in the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation Recovery Plan of 2022 for the HRTP dated June 3, 2022, and approved by the Federal Transit Authority in September 2022.' 'Due to uncertainty of future interest rates in the market, the not to exceed amount of $11, 000, 000 in the draft resolution is set higher than the actual city's subsidy to HART of $10, 000, 000, ' Kawano wrote. 'The excess amount is to cover any costs of issuance or potential discount amounts which is a possibility in the current market conditions.' Meanwhile, this GO bond resolution is connected to Bill 24. That measure, if adopted by the Council on third reading Wednesday, will legally allow the city to pay for capital projects—like rail as well as other transportation and municipal solid-waste sanitation projects—via bond financing. And on Wednesday the Council is expected to take a final vote on Bill 27—HART's capital budget for fiscal 2026—which proposes a $793.6 million capital spending plan, above the current $574 million—a nearly 38.3 % increase. The rail agency's latest capital budget includes future contract awards for Skyline's Pearl Highlands Transit Center as well as an H-2 freeway access ramp. A planned Waipahu Station makai entrance—originally earmarked for $14 million—is now being proposed at $20 million, the CIP indicates. The city's sale of GO bonds in relation to HART has occurred before. In August 2023 the city administration announced it sold $271 million in GO bonds to subsidize its 2024 capital improvement program and ongoing construction of the rail project. That year, the city said it received more than $477 million in total retail and institutional orders from investors, including orders from individual Hawaii residents. 'The GO bond proceeds will fund the administration's and Council's joint capital improvement priorities and replacement of equipment to better serve our communities, ' Blan giardi said at the time in a statement. Previously, Kawano told the Star-Advertiser that GO bonds are not 'specifically designated to a particular part of the rail line '—such as the 5.2-mile segment from the old Aloha Stadium in Ha lawa to Middle Street in Kalihi, which is planned to open for public ridership by Oct. 1—but would instead act as 'bridge financing for the rail construction ' overall. The Council meeting begins at 10 a.m. inside the Council chambers, 530 S. King St.
