Oswego panel recommends denial of plan for residential development near Fox River
The Oswego Planning and Zoning Commission recently voted 5-2 to recommend denial of a concept plan for a residential development near the Fox River.
Rigut Dgubgra, a representative of Naperville-based Property Addon, and Carrie Hanson, director of planning and government services at Oswego-based Schoppe Design Associates, on behalf of the developer, were seeking preliminary concept review of a proposal to build 20 townhomes and 40 condominiums on about 6.7 acres of vacant land on the east side of Route 31 just north of River Run Boulevard near the Fox River.
The property is directly adjacent to the Fox River in an area designated as a downtown district. The site would require annexation to the village and rezoning, village officials said.
The majority of the commission had concerns over the proposal’s density and potential impact on surrounding residential properties.
Planning and Zoning Commission Chair Charlie Pajor suggested commissioners consider a motion to recommend a concept plan with reduced density of about four to five units per acre rather than a density of 8.95 units per acre. However, the motion failed for a lack of a second.
The developer proposes to build the townhome units in five buildings on the west side of the site near Route 31.
The condominium building would be located to the east closer to the Fox River, village officials said.
Half of the condo units would directly face the river while the others would face west towards the rest of the development, village officials said.
“We recognize this is the first project west of the river, east of Route 31 to propose a development that is consistent with the downtown district vision,” Hanson told commissioners.
“It is for that reason, we want your feedback,” she said, adding the proposed uses are “consistent” with the village’s 2015 comprehensive plan downtown district designation and its goal to generate population within walking distance to retail stores and restaurants.
“The current size of the downtown is constrained, and the comprehensive plan recognizes this and expanded the geographic footprint of the downtown,” she said.
The village’s comprehensive plan “envisions the Fox River at the center of the expanded downtown, tying Village Hall and new development to the west and the historic district core to the east,” Hanson said. “We feel our proposed use is consistent with this aspirational goal.”
The proposed concept plan “creates a highly desirable residential project overlooking the Fox River,” she said.
The proposed density of 8.95 units per acre is consistent with a traditional townhome development, Hanson said. Approximately 37% of the site would remain open space, she said.
Commissioners were concerned with the impact of the proposed development on single-family homeowners to the north, south and west.
“This seems to be another development that is out of place,” commissioner Justin Sather said, adding he would rather see three large homes built on the site. “It’s probably the most beautiful part of Oswego.”
Hanson said “the comprehensive plan identifies this entire area for downtown district development. We looked at it in terms of the village’s desire to create density and a population base near the downtown.
“The direction we took was from the village’s own plan,” she said.
“If this isn’t the way the village wants to go, it’s good that we learn that now before the developer invests more time and money in developing a more detailed plan or neighbors worry over a concept plan that does not have support at the village level,” Hanson said.

Dane Van Essen follows parents and brothers into Illiana Christian basketball. No wonder he’s a ‘connoisseur.’
For Dane Van Essen, Illiana Christian basketball is the family business.
So it’s only fitting that the boys basketball team’s newest Van Essen eats, sleeps and breathes the sport.
“When I first started playing basketball, I knew it was something I wanted to do,” Van Essen said. “Then I saw my brothers play, and I think seeing them out there and seeing how much they enjoyed playing, it made me really want to get into it too.
“From there, it kind of just took off for me, and I fell in love with the sport.”
Van Essen, a 6-foot-3 junior guard/forward who leads the Vikings (8-3) with 12.5 points per game, followed his older brothers Logan, Luke and Zeke into the program. Their parents Darren and Janna also played basketball for Illiana Christian. Tom Roozeboom has coached all four brothers.
“Dane is kind of a mix of them,” Tom Roozeboom said. “Defensively, he gets after it, he’s rebounding a lot more this year than he was last season, and, I mean, obviously he can score the ball too. So I think he’s a nice balance of all of them.”

Van Essen’s blend of skills has fueled Illiana Christian’s eight-game winning streak. That run includes a victory over Whitko in the Cougar Classic championship game, after which Van Essen was named to the all-tournament team.
Van Essen helped steady the Vikings in the absence of senior guard Noah Sons, who led the team in scoring last season but has missed multiple games due to injury.
Van Essen’s impact extends beyond the box score, according to junior guard/forward Graeson Roozeboom, his best friend.
“It’s fun to play with him because he makes life easier for everybody,” Graeson Roozeboom said. “When people aren’t driving, he drives and kicks out to other guys, and he can score whenever he wants to.
“Off the court, he encourages everybody. He makes sure we all know what has to go on at practice the next day or what we ought to do to get ready for the game, and he encourages us to hang out and bond as a team.”
Those bonding sessions often include “Fortnite.” Van Essen said he doesn’t fare well but only because he “rarely has time to play video games.”
Graeson Roozeboom also praised Van Essen’s competitive drive and partly credited Van Essen’s father, who is an assistant for the Vikings. But Van Essen said his parents and brothers — whom he called “great role models in life” and “great mentors” — don’t motivate him as much as the desire to raise the standard.
“Last year, I saw what our captains were doing, and not that they did anything wrong, but there were a couple things that I wish they would have done for me when I was a sophomore,” Van Essen said. “So coming into this year, I tried to think about that, and I tried to be the person I would have wanted to have as a leader.”

Van Essen makes that look easy, according to Tom Roozeboom.
“He’s just a connoisseur of the game,” Tom Roozeboom said. “He asks questions other players wouldn’t ask, and I get to see him in the hallway interacting with other people, and I know how studious he is.
“So just being able to witness a student-athlete, I mean a true student-athlete, succeed at the athletic level, but also in the classroom, I think it kind of typifies him as a person.”

UK, Germany, France Push New Plan To Appease Trump On Greenland
UK, Germany, France Push New Plan To Appease Trump On Greenland
President Trump’s Friday’s remarks to reporters Friday made clear he is willing to take control of Greenland – even if it’s the “hard way” – and this sent the Europeans scrambling over the weekend to come up with plans or strategies for quickly de-escalating inter-NATO tensions.
“I’m not talking about money for Greenland yet. I might talk about that. But right now we are going to do something on Greenland, whether they like it or not,” the President had said, adding: “I would like to make a deal. You know, the easy way. But if we don’t do it the easy way, we’re going to do it the hard way.”
In the wake of this, NATO member Denmark responded firmly in the face of the US threat to its colony. Such a scenario as a US military move on Greenland would be the collapse of NATO, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen has made clear. Among the remarks from last week, Frederiksen said, “If the United States were to choose to attack another NATO country, then everything would come to an end.”
“The international community as we know it, democratic rules of the game, NATO, the world’s strongest defensive alliance – all of that would collapse if one NATO country chose to attack another,” the Danish PM added. But he missed the irony in the fact that country after country that refused to play by the so-called “democratic rules of the game” got bombed or overthrown by NATO and the West – with Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iran and others lying in ruins and societal fragmentation.
Warner: “We’ve had American intervention in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Yemen, Nigeria, Venezuela, maybe Greenland where he would blow up NATO. Did you see the Brits and Germans are putting troops in Greenland because they want to send a message. How is this leading to price stability,… pic.twitter.com/kLF5eWENJL

But now, as Bloomberg reports, European countries are seeking to seize on Trump’s talking points about Greenland being strategically crucial for Arctic security, as rival powers like Russia and China allegedly seek to move in.
“A group of European countries, led by the U.K. and Germany, is discussing plans for a military presence in Greenland to show U.S. President Donald Trump that the continent is serious about Arctic security and to try to tamp down American threats to take over the self-ruling Danish territory,” reports Bloomberg.
So this seems all about creating a fresh NATO joint mission to appease Trump, soften the rhetoric, and take away one of his main geostrategic justifications for a Greenland takeover.
Bloomberg continues, “Germany will propose setting up a joint NATO mission to protect the Arctic region, according to people familiar with the plans.”
This includes backing from Britain, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer having separately called on allied nations to strengthen their security footprint in the far north. Pre-planning discussions have been held with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.
AP/Sky News: Danish military forces participate in an exercise with NATO troops in Greenland.
The topic is likely to be broached when German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul meets with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio this week.
“Because security in the Arctic is becoming increasingly important, I also want to discuss on my trip how we can best bear this responsibility in NATO — in view of old and new rivalries in the region by Russia and China — together,” Wadephul said in a statement Sunday. “We want to discuss this together in NATO.“
It will be interesting to see whether the White House pursues this as an off-ramp, dropping the Greenland project, or whether Trump will read this as a ploy to co-opt forward momentum.
Selling a counter-plan based on running with the exaggerated threat and lie…
The US will defend Greenland from the US?
– Trump said that Russian and Chinese ships are around Greenland as an excuse for annexation. The Europeans know this is not true, but hope that Trump will believe his own lie to elevate the relevance of NATO? pic.twitter.com/XHr7pqSro6
— Glenn Diesen (@Glenn_Diesen) January 12, 2026
Trump has said on outright seizing it, “If we don’t do it, Russia or China will take over Greenland. And we’re not going to have Russia or China as a neighbor.” But there have also been other creative solutions offered – such as paying each Greenlander something like $1 million in exchange for US sovereignty over the mass which could be the size of a continent.
Currently, each citizen of Greenland is a full citizen of Denmark and of the European Union, and so many locals might not want to swap this out for being an American. However, many would likely be very attracted to some kind of huge single sum payout.

Symposium explores the history of Lake County: ‘You learn how what is current is relevant to your history’
A pair of contradictory diary entries, written five days apart in 1899 by George Weidner of Buffalo Grove, led two Lake County historians to uncover a murder mystery that shocked the area more than a century ago.
Marina Mayne, one of the historians, said Weidner was the owner of a general store at the time. He kept a diary of events in the community, writing on July 16, “George Krueger was shot by his wife who killed her mother and then herself.” She read another entry dated five days later.
“It read, ‘Krueger taken to Waukegan for murder trial,’” Mayne said.
Mayne, the registrar at the Raupp Museum in Buffalo Grove, and Debbie Fandrei, the museum’s director and the other historian, began a search of dozens of contemporaneous sources, including the News-Sun.
By the time the historians’ research was complete, they learned the wife and mother were shot to death, Krueger was tried, convicted and sentenced to life in prison and paroled after 11 years, always maintaining his innocence.
Fandrei and Mayne were two of the presenters at the first session of the 11th-annual Lake County History Symposium, presented online Thursday, with a second and final session slated for 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 15 online, with three more presentations about the area’s past.
Held each year through the Dunn Museum, Sarah Salto, a school program specialist there, said the symposium is an opportunity for people to learn about history around Lake County and its relevance today. The museum in Libertyville is operated by the Lake County Forest Preserves.
“We want to bring people together to learn about stories about our past, and how it is important to our community today,” Salto said.
Mayne and Fandrei took a deep dive into life in Buffalo Grove, as well as other parts of Ela and Vernon townships in 1899, to learn what really happened. Krueger, his wife and mother-in-law farmed land in what is Long Grove today.
Once Krueger was arrested and jailed at the county seat in Waukegan, the newspapers started writing about it. Fandrei and Mayne found stories from local papers at the time, including the News-Sun. Accounts varied.
Krueger ran from his farm, and came to a neighbor’s residence, claiming he was shot by his wife. He did have bullet wounds. The coroner performed an autopsy with many people watching, but did not opine whether it was murder. The sheriff became suspicious and Krueger was arrested.
Fandrei said learning about Krueger’s trial helped her understand and impart to others how life was different then and how society has evolved in the last 125 years. The jury consisted of all men.
“Women could not vote yet,” Fandrei said. “Jurors were selected from the voter rolls (as they are today). Women couldn’t vote, so the jury was all men.”
Along with learning about Krueger and his family, Jenny Barry of the Libertyville Historical Society enlightened people about how she learned that a portrait long hanging in the home of Ansel B. Cook, a 19th-century industrialist, was more likely the likeness of Cook’s sons-in-law than him.
After the son-in-law’s great-great-grandson thought the portrait resembled his relative, Barry decided to learn who the man portrayed was. She delved into the artist and whether he was around at the appropriate time.
Before Barry made her presentation, Patricia Mooney-Melvin, an associate professor of history at Loyola University in Chicago, talked about the relationship of local history to national and world events, and its relevance today.
“Like politics, all history is local,” Mooney-Melvin said. “You look at documents and find out about your community. You find out what was important then and build an identity. You learn how what is current is relevant to your history.”
During the second session of the symposium this Thursday, people will learn about the life of Ray Bradbury from the author’s own notes, the town which was once Half Day and how two cookbooks once created a relationship between Highland and Park Ridge.
Ty Rohrer, the cultural arts manager for the Waukegan Park District and a member of the board of the Waukegan Historical Society, will talk about events from the Waukegan-born author’s life from his 1981 daybook. It has notes on some of his “famous friends.”
Catherine Lambrecht and Nancy Webster of the Highland Park Historical Society will talk about cookbooks written in 1935. One was to raise money for a girls’ school in Park Ridge, and the other to build an auditorium for Highland Park’s West Ridge Community Club. The books were found on eBay.
Diana Dretske, the Dunn Museum’s curator, will talk about the 19th-century community of Half Day which now only exists in road names.

El papa León XIV se reúne con la líder opositora venezolana María Corina Machado
ROMA (AP) — El papa León XIV se reunió con la líder opositora venezolana y ganadora del Premio Nobel de la Paz, María Corina Machado, en una audiencia privada en el Vaticano el lunes.
La reunión, que no estaba incluida en la lista de citas planeadas del pontífice, fue posteriormente listada por el Vaticano en su boletín diario, sin añadir detalles.
Machado está de gira por Europa y Estados Unidos después de reaparecer en diciembre tras 11 meses en la clandestinidad para aceptar el Nobel de la Paz en Noruega.
El papa, el primer pontífice estadounidense, ha pedido que Venezuela siga siendo un país independiente después de que las fuerzas de Estados Unidos capturaron al expresidente venezolano Nicolás Maduro en su residencia en Caracas y lo trasladaron a Nueva York para enfrentar cargos federales de narcotráfico.
León XIV ha manifestado que sigue los acontecimientos en Venezuela con “profunda preocupación” y urgió la protección de los derechos humanos y civiles en el país latinoamericano.
La oposición venezolana, respaldada por administraciones republicanas y demócratas consecutivas en Estados Unidos, prometió durante años reemplazar inmediatamente a Maduro con uno de los suyos y restaurar la democracia en el país petrolero. Pero el presidente Donald Trump les dio un duro golpe al permitir que la vicepresidenta de Maduro, Delcy Rodríguez, asumiera el control.
Mientras tanto, la mayoría de los líderes de la oposición, incluida Machado, están en el exilio o en prisión.
Después de ganar el Nobel, Machado dijo que le gustaría dárselo o compartirlo con Trump.
Machado dedicó el premio a Trump, junto con el pueblo de Venezuela, poco después de que se anunció. Trump ha codiciado y ha hecho campaña abiertamente para ganar el Nobel desde su regreso al cargo en enero de 2025.
La organización que supervisa el Premio Nobel de la Paz —el Instituto Nobel Noruego— dijo, sin embargo, que una vez anunciado, el premio no puede ser revocado, transferido o compartido con otros.
“La decisión es final y se mantiene para siempre”, dijo en un breve comunicado la semana pasada. _______

Corte de Hong Kong escucha argumentos sobre sentencia a empresario de medios Jimmy Lai
Por KANIS LEUNG
HONG KONG (AP) — Un tribunal de Hong Kong escuchó el lunes los argumentos sobre la sentencia del defensor de la democracia y exmagnate de los medios Jimmy Lai, cuya condena bajo una ley de seguridad nacional podría llevarlo a prisión por el resto de su vida.
Lai fundó el ahora desaparecido periódico Apple Daily y fue un crítico abierto del Partido Comunista de China. Fue arrestado en 2020 bajo la ley impuesta por Beijing tras las masivas protestas antigubernamentales que sacudieron Hong Kong el año anterior.
En diciembre, fue declarado culpable de conspirar con otros para coludirse con fuerzas extranjeras y de conspiración para publicar artículos sediciosos.
Su condena generó preocupaciones sobre la restricción de la libertad de prensa en la excolonia británica, que regresó al dominio chino en 1997.
Su caso también podría poner a prueba los lazos diplomáticos de Beijing. El veredicto provocó críticas de gobiernos extranjeros, incluidos Estados Unidos y Gran Bretaña. Después del veredicto, el presidente norteamericano Donald Trump, quien había planteado el caso de Lai con China, dijo que se sentía “muy mal”.
Lai, junto con otros coacusados, compareció en el tribunal para las audiencias de mitigación de cuatro días. La pena máxima es cadena perpetua. La sentencia se dictará más adelante.
El abogado de Lai, Robert Pang, declaró que la salud, la edad y el confinamiento solitario de su cliente harían que su sentencia fuera “más onerosa” en comparación con la de la población carcelaria general. Lai tiene 78 años, por lo que el impacto de una larga sentencia de prisión será mayor, argumentó Pang.
“Cada día que pasa en prisión”, dijo Pang, “lo acerca más al final de su vida”.
Condición física de Lai discutida en el tribunal
Cuando Lai entró en la sala del tribunal, juntó las manos en un aparente gesto de gratitud, y sonrió a los que estaban sentados en la galería. El magnate de los medios parecía estar de buen ánimo y saludó a un editor condenado de Apple Daily que también estaba en el banquillo.
En agosto, sus abogados dijeron al tribunal que sufría de palpitaciones cardíacas. El gobierno de Hong Kong indicó que no se encontraron anomalías en un examen médico posterior.
El fiscal Anthony Chau sostuvo que la salud de Lai era estable. Chau dijo que Lai había perdido solo 0,8 kg (alrededor de 1,8 libras) durante cinco años de detención, pesando 79,2 kg (alrededor de 175 libras) cuando se midió por última vez este mes. Lai todavía se considera obeso como adulto asiático, apuntó Chau. El comentario sobre la obesidad provocó risas de algunas personas sentadas en la galería pública, y Lai también sonrió.
Pero Pang argumentó que su cliente ya no hacía honor a su apodo de “El Gordito Lai”, en contraste con las imágenes en videos filmados antes de la detención y mostrados previamente al tribunal.
Esther Toh, una de las tres juezas aprobadas por el gobierno, rechazó estimar el peso basándose en la observación humana, diciendo que las personas pueden parecer más gordas en cámara. Pang también dijo que el peso de Lai una vez bajó 11 kg (24 libras) en un año, aunque el tribunal escuchó que luego recuperó algo de peso.
El abogado aseguró que Lai sufre problemas de salud como hipertensión, diabetes y una vena bloqueada en un ojo.
Pang argumentó que el confinamiento solitario de su cliente, que Chau dijo anteriormente que fue a petición de Lai, estaba haciendo su vida en prisión “más dura” que la de otros.
Antes del amanecer, decenas de personas ya se habían alineado fuera del edificio del tribunal para asegurar un asiento en la galería pública. El jubilado Simon Ng, un exlector de Apple Daily, dijo que llegó y esperó en la fila desde el viernes por la mañana, con la esperanza de ver a Lai.
“Quiero que sepa que no está solo”, aseveró Ng. “Muchas personas lo apoyan”.
Los jueces dictaminaron que Lai era el cerebro
Lai fue condenado por dos cargos de conspiración para cometer colusión con fuerzas extranjeras para atentar contra la seguridad nacional, además de un cargo de conspiración para distribuir publicaciones sediciosas. Lai se declaró inocente de todos los cargos.
Los jueces escribieron en su veredicto de diciembre que Lai encabezó las conspiraciones y cuestionaron lo que llamaron su “constante invitación” a Estados Unidos para derrocar al gobierno chino con la excusa de ayudar a los hongkoneses.
Los abogados de Lai reconocieron durante el juicio que había pedido sanciones extranjeras antes de que la ley de seguridad nacional entrara en vigor, pero insistieron en que dejó de hacer estos llamados para cumplir con la ley. También argumentaron en base a la libertad de expresión.
Pero los jueces expresaron que Lai nunca vaciló en su intención de desestabilizar al Partido Comunista Chino. Después de la promulgación de la ley, tenía la intención de continuar, aunque de manera menos explícita, dijeron. Enfatizaron que Lai no estaba siendo juzgado por sus opiniones políticas.
Beijing se ha opuesto a lo que llamó el desprestigio del poder judicial de Hong Kong “por ciertos países”, diciendo que las autoridades judiciales cumplen con sus deberes de acuerdo con la ley.
Otros tienen la posibilidad de sentencias más leves
Seis exejecutivos de Apple Daily y dos activistas involucrados en el caso de Lai se declararon culpables, admitiendo que habían conspirado con Lai y otros para solicitar a fuerzas extranjeras que impusieran sanciones, bloqueos o participaran en otras actividades hostiles.
Los ejecutivos eran el editor Cheung Kim-hung, la editora asociada Chan Pui-man, el editor en jefe Ryan Law, el editor ejecutivo en jefe Lam Man-chung y los escritores editoriales Fung Wai-kong y Yeung Ching-kee. Algunos de ellos, junto con los dos activistas Andy Li y Chan Tsz-wah, sirvieron como testigos de la acusación durante el juicio de 156 días.
Una declaración de culpabilidad generalmente puede llevar a una reducción de la sentencia. Bajo la ley de seguridad, se puede otorgar una pena reducida a aquellos que informen sobre el delito cometido por otros.
Los abogados que representan a los dos activistas sugirieron que las sentencias finales de sus clientes deberían reducirse a menos de 10 años en parte debido a su cooperación en el caso. El abogado de Cheung, Lucas Lau, también citó la ayuda de su cliente en el caso como uno de los factores para una pena más leve.
El esposo de Chan Pui-man, Chung Pui-kuen, un exeditor principal de Stand News que había sido sentenciado a 21 meses de cárcel en un caso separado de sedición, estaba entre los que estaban sentados en la galería pública.
Trump dijo después del veredicto que habló con el presidente chino Xi Jinping sobre Lai y “pidió considerar su liberación”. El primer ministro británico Keir Starmer ha dicho que su gobierno ha hecho de la liberación de Lai, ciudadano británico, una prioridad.
La audiencia continuará el martes y se centrará en los coacusados de Lai.

Fire Departments’ New Emergency: Affording Their Trucks
Fire Departments’ New Emergency: Affording Their Trucks
Authored by Eric Salzman via Racket News,
When I was a kid, one of the coolest things was that every year, a few days before Christmas, our town’s fire department would drive through all the neighborhoods in its gleaming fire engine with the lights flashing, giving short bursts of the siren. All the firemen were in full gear hanging off the sides, while Santa, sitting at the top, threw candy canes to us all. The fire department was special, especially to the kids whose dads or uncles were volunteers.
These days, that truck may not be as shiny as it once was, as there are many trucks in service that should have been retired or kept only as backups because of how prone to failure they are. That’s what happened in Camden, NJ, in March 2024. From NJ.com:
Camden Fire Capt. Will Johnson and his crew arrived within five minutes in Engine 8, a battle-scarred, 21-year-old truck. Flames roared from the second-floor windows as firefighters rushed in, spraying water to try to save Shawn, 35.
But then the hose went limp. The red-and-white truck’s pump had failed, according to incident reports. About two and a half minutes passed, Johnson estimates, before water was restored.
Shawn did not make it. The captain wrote in a report that “we could not advance quickly enough to suppress a bulk of the fire or have an adequate primary search done to locate the victim.”
We don’t know if Shawn would have lived if the pumper truck had worked. But a 21-year-old pumper truck should not be on the front lines of service. The National Fire Protection Association recommends that trucks older than 15 years be relegated to a station’s reserve fleet and completely removed after 25 years.
Los Angeles is a prime example of an aging fleet. The Los Angeles Times reports that as of last June, 60% of its 210 pumper trucks and 48% of its ladder trucks were operating beyond their recommended lifespans. During the Palisades fire, roughly 40 pumper trucks were in the shop; 70 percent of them were 15 years or older, including three built in I999.
“These aging and inoperable fire trucks have certainly harmed emergency responses and cost lives,” Edward Kelly, the president of the International Association of Fire Fighters union, said during a U.S. Senate hearing in September.
He cited an incident in Chicago last summer when a ladder on a reserve truck failed during a rescue. Firefighters had to restart the truck to raise the ladder. Four people died, including a five-year-old.
What the hell is going on?
Lack of competition, for one. Three manufacturers have emerged in the last two decades to control 70% to 80% of the market, according to a federal lawsuit filed by the town of Newstead, NY.
One of the companies, REV Group, was created by a private equity firm, American Industrial Partners (AIP). It got into the fire apparatus business in 2008 with the purchase of E-One, a huge player in the industry, and proceeded to purchase six more companies over the next 12 years. It’s been quite successful for investors. AIP launched an IPO for Rev Group in 2017 and sold a portion of its stake in the company for $275 million, and then got out completely in 2024 by selling its remaining shares for $127.6 million.
But before cashing out, AIP’s purchase of so many manufacturers enabled Rev Group to join the companies Oshkosh and Rosenbauer as dominant players in the industry. As a result, the lawsuit argues they gained near monopolistic pricing powers.
Kelly, the union president, says costs have doubled in the past decade. Pumper trucks cost about $1 million; ladder trucks roughly $2 million. To make matters worse, Kelly testified that the price often changes after they’re ordered.
Manufacturers wield their market power to impose surprise price hikes after order placement through “floating” price terms. These price hikes exacerbate other budget constraints. Fire departments with budget challenges have had to cancel essential training and even lay off fire fighters.
Awesome Returns Bro!
In 2025, REV Group’s stock price surged 93%, while Oshkosh rose 33%. Both companies outperformed the S&P 500, which increased 16.5% for the year.
In REV’s blowout third-quarter 2025 earnings call — a day in which its stock jumped 19% — CEO Mark Skanechnie stated:
Given the inventory levels we had on hand at the start of the quarter, along with the efforts of our supply chain team, we were able to mitigate a portion of the expected inflationary impacts related to tariffs within the third quarter, which resulted in delivering a 28% incremental margin year over year as compared to our prior guidance of twenty percent to 25% incremental margin for the 2025.
The increase [in incremental margin] versus last year was related to the continued demand for fire apparatus and ambulance units as well as pricing actions, partially offset by the benefit of the increased throughput mentioned earlier.
In other words, the floating price hikes weren’t completely tied to increased costs during production, which typically takes a year to 18 months, depending on the truck. A 28% incremental margin is generally considered outstanding for vehicle manufacturers.
Antitrust Complaints
The Newstead Fire Department filed its class action complaint on October 31 against REV Group, Oshkosh and Rosenbauer. From the complaint:
Beginning in or about January 2016, Manufacturing Defendants entered into an agreement, combination, or conspiracy to limit the supply, and to fix, raise, maintain, or stabilize prices of Fire Trucks sold in the United States at supra-competitive levels. As a result of the unlawful conduct of Defendants, Plaintiff and Class members paid artificially inflated prices for Fire Trucks and as a result have suffered antitrust injury in violation of the federal antitrust laws.
The result, the lawsuit argues, is inflated prices with long wait times that “have forced municipalities to keep older and less reliable Fire Trucks” or forced them to redirect funding to cover the higher costs.
This complaint came on the heels of a similar antitrust complaint that La Crosse, Wisconsin, filed in August against the three companies.
Rev Group, Oshkosh, and Rosenbauer told Reuters, “the company believes the suit is meritless and intends to challenge the allegations in court.”
Additionally, In April 2025 Senators Elizabeth Warren (D) and Senator Jim Banks (R) opened an investigation into this matter, making the following statement,
While CEOs and shareholders pad their pockets, consolidation in the industry impedes fire fighters’ ability to do their jobs safely and effectively, squeezes fire departments’ budgets, and forces taxpayers to bear the consequences. We have heard from dozens of fire departments in Massachusetts, Indiana, and elsewhere about difficulties they have faced related to serial roll-ups of fire truck manufacturers, including delivery delays, defective parts, and price increases… Private equity consolidation of fire truck manufacturers has led to higher costs and a nationwide shortage of fire trucks.
In response, Mike Virnig of The Rev Group told the New York Times that the industry has had a shortage in skilled labor and that it was affected by pandemic supply chain disruptions. The Times reports he also said a backlog resulted from a flood of orders that came with federal stimulus money.
Perhaps, but jacking up prices during production and bragging about a 28% incremental margin that resulted from doing that doesn’t instill confidence that everything is aboveboard. A year-over-year stock price increase of 93% probably does not represent a company struggling to meet its customers’ needs. It represents the market perception that REV Group has its customers over a very profitable barrel.

Globos de Oro: Brasil en racha, Amy Poehler gana y Seth Rogen cierra el círculo
Por MARK KENNEDY
Los Globos de Oro tuvieron algunos momentos predecibles, como cuando “One Battle After Another” (“Una batalla tras otra”) y “Adolescence” (“Adolescencia”) arrasaron, y la presentadora Nikki Glaser se burló de la edad de las parejas de Leonardo DiCaprio.
Pero también hubo momentos dulces, como cuando Erin Doherty, estrella de “Adolescence”, quien interpretó a una terapeuta infantil, ganó el trofeo a la mejor actriz de reparto en televisión — y agradeció a los terapeutas.
O cuando George Clooney, que estaba sentado al borde del escenario, ayudó galantemente a Jean Smart a subir al podio y luego abrazó a su antiguo compañero de “ER”, Noah Wyle, en su camino para aceptar el premio al mejor drama de televisión por “The Pitt”.
También hubo momentos extraños, como cuando Rose Byrne explicó por qué su pareja y compañero actor Bobby Cannavale no estaba allí para verla ganar: él estaba en una exposición de reptiles en Nueva Jersey porque la familia iba a adquirir un dragón barbudo.
Una ocasión dulce fue cuando Rhea Seehorn, estrella de “Pluribus”, en el escenario para aceptar su premio de actuación en una serie dramática, primero le dijo a la presentadora Queen Latifah que la conoció hace 20 años mientras estaba entre trabajos y la rapera-actriz fue “muy amable”.
Otros momentos incluyeron un abrazo dorado al cine brasileño, Seth Rogen teniendo déjà vu, Amy Poehler burlándose de NPR y la cantante-compositora de “KPop Demon Hunters”, Ejae, animando a los espectadores a seguir esforzándose.
Brasil entra en calor
Wagner Moura ganó el Globo de Oro al mejor actor en una película dramática, convirtiéndose en el segundo brasileño en llevarse un premio de actuación de los Globos después de la victoria de Fernanda Torres el año pasado por “Ainda Estou Aquí” (“Aún estoy aquí”).
Moura en “O Agente Secreto” (“El agente secreto”) interpreta a un exprofesor universitario obligado a esconderse mientras intenta proteger a su pequeño hijo durante la dictadura militar de Brasil en los años 70. La película también ganó el Globo a la mejor película en lengua no inglesa.
“‘O Agente Secreto’ es una película sobre la memoria — o la falta de memoria — y el trauma generacional”, dijo Moura en su discurso de aceptación. “Creo que si el trauma puede transmitirse a lo largo de las generaciones, los valores también pueden. Así que esto es para aquellos que se mantienen firmes en sus valores en momentos difíciles”.
Moura es famoso por su interpretación del narcotraficante colombiano Pablo Escobar en “Narcos” de Netflix, que se emitió de 2015 a 2017 y le valió una nominación al Globo de Oro en 2016. También estuvo en “Civil War” de 2024.
El domingo, superó la competencia de Joel Edgerton en “Train Dreams” (“Sueños de trenes”), Oscar Isaac de “Frankenstein”, Dwayne Johnson en “The Smashing Machine” (“La Máquina: The Smashing Machine”), Michael B. Jordan en “Sinners” y Jeremy Allen White de “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere”.
El año pasado, Brasil ganó su primer Oscar en la categoría de película internacional por “Ainda Estou Aquí” (“Aún estoy aquí”).
La vida imita al arte para Seth Rogen
Seth Rogen ganó su primer Globo de Oro solo meses después de que su sátira del mundo del espectáculo “The Studio” ambientara un episodio completo en la misma ceremonia de premios.
“¡Esto es tan raro! Acabamos de fingir hacer esto y ahora está sucediendo de verdad”, dijo Rogen, sosteniendo su trofeo. “Pensé que la única forma en que podría sostener uno era crear un programa completo para darme uno falso”.
El episodio del Globo de Oro de “The Studio” sigue al ejecutivo de estudio de Rogen, Matt, mientras asiste a los Globos, donde está obsesionado con la idea de que su nombre sea mencionado en un discurso de aceptación.
En su discurso de aceptación real, Rogen agradeció a sus compañeros nominados, mencionando al dúo de “Only Murders in the Building”, Steve Martin y Martin Short. “Recuerdo haber crecido viéndolos, toda mi vida pensando, ‘Un día los voy a superar’”. Luego se rió, añadiendo “No pensé que lo haría”.
Amy Poehler gana el primer Globo de pódcast
“Good Hang with Amy Poehler” ganó el premio inaugural al mejor pódcast y la presentadora hizo una broma sobre sus rivales en National Public Radio.
“Se que soy nueva en este juego. Tengo un gran respeto por este formato”, dijo Poehler. “Tengo un gran respeto por todos con los que estoy nominada. Soy gran fan de todos ustedes, excepto de NPR: sólo un grupo de celebridades haciendo su trabajo por teléfono. Esfuércense más”.
El programa de Poehler superó a “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard”, “Call Her Daddy”, “The Mel Robbins Podcast”, “SmartLess” y “Up First”, de NPR. (También superó a su exmarido Will Arnett, parte de “SmartLess”).
Es el segundo Globo de Poehler, habiendo ganado uno en 2014 por “Parks and Recreation”. Dijo que su pódcast es un intento de hacer un “mundo áspero y poco amable lleno de un poco más de amor y risas”.
Las nominaciones al pódcast evitaron la política o la controversia al pasar por alto pódcasts populares de programas de tendencia conservadora como “The Megyn Kelly Show”, “The Tucker Carlson Show”, “The Ben Shapiro Show”, “Candace” de Candace Owen y “The Joe Rogan Experience”.
“Golden”, apropiadamente, gana en los Globos de Oro
“Golden” de “KPop Demon Hunters” ganó el Globo a la mejor canción original y una de sus compositoras tuvo una lección para otros que luchan por ser escuchados.
“Cuando era una pequeña niña, trabajé incansablemente durante diez años para cumplir un sueño: convertirme en un ídolo del K-pop. Fui rechazada y decepcionada porque mi voz no era lo suficientemente buena”, dijo Ejae, quien es una de las intérpretes de la canción y la compuso junto con Mark Sonnenblick y Lee Hee-joon. “Ahora estoy aquí como cantante y compositora”.
“Así que es un sueño hecho realidad ser parte de una canción que está ayudando a otras chicas, otros chicos y a todos de todas las edades a superar sus dificultades y aceptarse a sí mismos”, añadió Ejae.
La banda sonora de “KPop Demon Hunters” ha encabezado las listas de popularidad— debutando en el número uno en la lista de Soundtracks de Billboard y en el número ocho en la Billboard 200 de todos los géneros. El filme también ganó el Globo a la mejor película animada.
La letra de “Golden” dice: “Waited so long to break these walls down/To wake up and feel like me/Put these patterns all in the past now/And finally live like the girl they all see” (Esperé tanto tiempo para derribar estos muros/Despertar y sentirme como yo/Dejar estos patrones en el pasado/Y finalmente vivir como la chica que todos ven).
“Adolescence” y la esperanza de “eliminar el odio”
“Adolescence” ganó cuatro Globos de Oro y su guionista Jack Thorne destacó a los jóvenes en el elenco del programa, diciendo: “Ustedes son la prueba de que el mundo puede ser mejor”.
“Eliminar el odio es la responsabilidad de nuestra generación. Requiere reflexión desde arriba hacia abajo. La posibilidad parece remota ahora mismo, pero la esperanza es algo hermoso”, añadió.
La miniserie de cuatro capítulos Netflix, que traza las secuelas emocionales después del apuñalamiento de una adolescente en el Reino Unido, se ha convertido en una sensación. Ganó ocho premios Emmy el año pasado, incluyendo serie limitada o antológica destacada.
El domingo, “Adolescence” ganó Globos a la mejor serie limitada, serie antológica o película hecha para televisión; actor de reparto en televisión para Owen Cooper; actriz de reparto en televisión para Erin Doherty; y actor principal en televisión para Stephen Graham.

Trump says Iran wants to negotiate as the death toll in protests rises to at least 544
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — U.S. President Donald Trump said Iran wants to negotiate with Washington after his threat to strike the Islamic Republic over its bloody crackdown on protesters, a move coming as activists said Monday the death toll in the nationwide demonstrations rose to at least 544.
Iran had no direct reaction to Trump’s comments, which came after the foreign minister of Oman — long an interlocutor between Washington and Tehran — traveled to Iran this weekend. It also remains unclear just what Iran could promise, particularly as Trump has set strict demands over its nuclear program and its ballistic missile arsenal, which Tehran insists is crucial for its national defense.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, speaking to foreign diplomats in Tehran, insisted “the situation has come under total control” in fiery remarks that blamed Israel and the U.S. for the violence, without offering evidence.
“That’s why the demonstrations turned violent and bloody to give an excuse to the American president to intervene,” Araghchi said, in comments carried by the Qatar-funded Al Jazeera satellite news network. Al Jazeera has been allowed to report from inside the country live despite the internet being shut off.
However, Araghchi said Iran was “open to diplomacy.” Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said a channel to the U.S. remained open, but talks needed to be “based on the acceptance of mutual interests and concerns, not a negotiation that is one-sided, unilateral and based on dictation.”
Meanwhile Monday, Iran drew tens of thousands of pro-government demonstrators to head to the streets in support of the theocracy, a show of force after days of protests directly challenging the rule of 86-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Iranian state television aired chants from the crowd, which appeared to number in the tens of thousands, who shouted “Death to America!” and “Death to Israel!”
Others cried out: “Death to the enemies of God!” Iran’s attorney general has said prosecutors will levy such charges against protesters, which carry the death penalty.
Trump acknowledges proposal for talks
Trump and his national security team have been weighing a range of potential responses against Iran, including cyberattacks and direct strikes by the U.S. or Israel, according to two people familiar with internal White House discussions who were not authorized to comment publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
“The military is looking at it, and we’re looking at some very strong options,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One on Sunday night. Asked about Iran’s threats of retaliation, he said: “If they do that, we will hit them at levels that they’ve never been hit before.”
Trump said that his administration was in talks to set up a meeting with Tehran, but cautioned that he may have to act first as reports of the death toll in Iran mount and the government continues to arrest protesters.
“I think they’re tired of being beat up by the United States,” Trump said. “Iran wants to negotiate.”
He added: “The meeting is being set up, but we may have to act because of what’s happening before the meeting. But a meeting is being set up. Iran called, they want to negotiate.”
Iran, through the country’s parliamentary speaker, warned Sunday that the U.S. military and Israel would be “legitimate targets” if America uses force to protect demonstrators.
More than 10,600 people also have been detained over the two weeks of protests, said the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, which has been accurate in previous unrest in recent years and gave the death toll. It relies on supporters in Iran crosschecking information. It said 496 of the dead were protesters and 48 were with security forces.
With the internet down in Iran and phone lines cut off, gauging the demonstrations from abroad has grown more difficult. The Associated Press has been unable to independently assess the toll. Iran’s government has not offered overall casualty figures.
Those abroad fear the information blackout is emboldening hard-liners within Iran’s security services to launch a bloody crackdown. Protesters flooded the streets in the country’s capital and its second-largest city on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Online videos purported to show more demonstrations Sunday night into Monday, with a Tehran official acknowledging them in state media.
At 2 p.m. Monday, Iranian state TV showed images of demonstrators thronging Tehran toward Enghelab Square, or “Islamic Revolution” Square in the capital. It had been airing statements all morning from Iranian government, security and religious leaders to attend the demonstration.
It called the rally an “Iranian uprising against American-Zionist terrorism,” without addressing the underlying anger in the country over the nation’s ailing economy. State TV aired images of such demonstrations around the country, trying to signal it had overcome the protests.
Fear pervades Iran’s capital
In Tehran, a witness told the AP that the streets of the capital empty at the sunset call to prayers each night. By the Isha, or nighttime prayer, the streets are deserted.
Part of that stems from the fear of getting caught in the crackdown. Police sent the public a text message that warned: “Given the presence of terrorist groups and armed individuals in some gatherings last night and their plans to cause death, and the firm decision to not tolerate any appeasement and to deal decisively with the rioters, families are strongly advised to take care of their youth and teenagers.”
Another text, which claimed to come from the intelligence arm of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, also directly warned people not to take part in demonstrations.
“Dear parents, in view of the enemy’s plan to increase the level of naked violence and the decision to kill people, … refrain from being on the streets and gathering in places involved in violence, and inform your children about the consequences of cooperating with terrorist mercenaries, which is an example of treason against the country,” the text warned.
The witness spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity due to the ongoing crackdown.
The demonstrations began Dec. 28 over the collapse of the Iranian rial currency, which trades at over 1.4 million to $1, as the country’s economy is squeezed by international sanctions in part levied over its nuclear program. The protests intensified and grew into calls directly challenging Iran’s theocracy.
Video shows corpses outside capital
Meanwhile, video circulating online purports to show dozens of bodies in a morgue on the outskirts of Iran’s capital.
People with knowledge of the facility and the U.S.-based Human Rights Activists News Agency said Monday that the video shows the Kahrizak Forensic Medicine Center.
In the footage, people are seen walking by dozens of bodies in bags laid out in a large room, attempting to identify those there. In some cases, bodies can be seen lying outside on blue tarps. A large truck can be seen in part of the footage.
Another video, widely shared by activists, purportedly shows people gathered around a television monitor, watching images of the faces of corpses flash up. Outside, people can be heard wailing in grief. Some bodies can be seen in open body bags. The footage matches other images of the facility online.
Golden Globe highlights: Brazil on a streak, Amy Poehler’s pod wins and Seth Rogen comes full-circle
The Golden Globes had some predictable stuff, like “One Battle After Another” and “Adolescence” cleaning up and host Nikki Glaser making fun of the age of Leonardo DiCaprio’s partners.
But there were also some sweet moments, like when “Adolescence” star Erin Doherty, who played a child therapist, won the trophy for best female actor in a supporting role on television — and thanked therapists.
Or when George Clooney, who was sitting at the lip of the stage, gallantly helped Jean Smart up to the podium and later hugged his former “ER” co-star Noah Wyle on his way to accepting best TV drama for “The Pitt.”
‘Hamnet’ and ‘One Battle After Another’ take top honors at Golden Globes
There were some weird moments, too, like when Rose Byrne explained why her partner and fellow actor Bobby Cannavale wasn’t there to see her win: He was at a reptile expo in New Jersey because the family was getting a bearded dragon.
A sweet occasion was when “Pluribus” star Rhea Seehorn, onstage to accept her acting award for a TV drama, first told presenter Queen Latifah that she met her 20 years ago while she was between jobs and the rapper-actor was “so nice.”
Other moments included a Golden embrace of Brazilian filmmaking, Seth Rogen having deja vu, Amy Poehler dunking on NPR and “KPop Demon Hunters” singer-songwriter Ejae encouraging viewers to keep striving.
Brazil coming in hot
Wagner Moura won the Golden Globe for lead actor in a movie drama, becoming the second Brazilian to take home a Globes acting prize after Fernanda Torres’ win last year for “I’m Still Here.”
Moura in “The Secret Agent” plays a former professor forced into hiding while trying to protect his young son during Brazil’s military dictatorship of the 1970s. The movie also won the Globe for best non-English film.
“‘The Secret Agent’ is a film about memory — or the lack of memory — and generational trauma,” Moura said in his acceptance speech. “I think that if trauma can be passed along generations, values can too. So this is to the ones that are sticking with their values in difficult moments.”
Moura is perhaps best known for his portrayal of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar in Netflix’s “Narcos,” which ran from 2015 to 2017 and earned him a Golden Globe nomination in 2016. He was also in 2024’s “Civil War.”
On Sunday, he brushed aside competition from Joel Edgerton in “Train Dreams,” Oscar Isaac from “Frankenstein,” Dwayne Johnson in “The Smashing Machine,” Michael B. Jordan in “Sinners” and Jeremy Allen White from “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.”
Last year, Brazil earned its first Oscar win in the international film category for “I’m Still Here.”
Life imitates art for Seth Rogan
Seth Rogen won his first Golden Globe only months after his showbiz satire “The Studio” set an entire episode at the same awards ceremony.
“This is so weird! We just pretended to do this and now it is happening!” Rogen said, cradling his trophy. “I thought the only way I would get to hold one is to create a whole show to give myself a fake one.”
The Golden Globe episode of “The Studio” follows Rogen’s studio executive, Matt, as he attends the Globes, where he’s obsessed with the idea that his name gets mentioned in an acceptance speech.
In his actual winning speech, Rogen thanked his fellow nominees, calling out “Only Murders in the Building” duo Steve Martin and Martin Short. “I remember growing up watching you guys, my whole life thinking, ‘One day I’m going to beat them.’” He then laughed, adding “I did not think that.”
Amy Poehler wins first podcast Globe
“Good Hang with Amy Poehler” won the inaugural best podcast award and the host had a joke about her rivals at National Public Radio.
“I know that I am new to this game. I have great respect for this form,” Poehler said. “I have great respect for everyone I am nominated with. I am big fans of all of you — except for NPR: just a bunch of celebs phoning it in. Try harder.”
Poehler’s show beat out “Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,” “Call Her Daddy,” “The Mel Robbins Podcast,” “SmartLess” and “Up First,” from NPR. (She also beat her ex-husband Will Arnett, part of “SmartLess.”)
It is Poehler’s second Globe, having won one in 2014 for “Parks and Recreation.” She said her podcast is an attempt to make a “rough and unkind world filled with a little bit more love and laughter.”
The podcast nominations avoided politics or controversy by passing on popular podcasts from conservative-leaning programs like “The Megyn Kelly Show,” “The Tucker Carlson Show,” “The Ben Shapiro Show,” Candace Owen’s “Candace” and “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
‘Golden,’ appropriately, wins at Golden Globes
“Golden” from “KPop Demon Hunters ” won the Globe for best original song and one of its songwriters had a lesson to others struggling to be heard.
“When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for 10 years to fill one dream — to become a K-pop idol. I was rejected, and disappointed that my voice wasn’t good enough,” said co-singer Ejae, who also co-wrote the track with Mark Sonnenblick and Lee Hee-joon. “Now I’m here as a singer and a songwriter.”
“So it’s a dream come true to be part of a song that is helping other girls, other boys and everyone of all ages to get through their hardship and to accept themselves,” Ejae added.
The “KPop Demon Hunters” soundtrack has topped the charts — debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Soundtracks chart and No. 8 on the all-genre Billboard 200. The movie also won the Globe for best animated film.
“Golden” contains the lyrics: “Waited so long to break these walls down/To wake up and feel like me/Put these patterns all in the past now/And finally live like the girl they all see.”
‘Adolescence’ and the hope of ‘removing hate’
“Adolescence” won four Golden Globes and writer Jack Thorne highlighted the young people in the show’s cast, saying, “You are proof the world can be better.”
“Removing hate is our generation’s responsibility. It requires thought from the top down. The possibility seems remote right now, but hope is a beautiful thing,” he added.
The Netflix four-part series, which traces the emotional fallout after a U.K. teenager’s stabbing, has become a sensation. It won eight Emmy Awards last year, including outstanding limited or anthology series.
On Sunday, “Adolescence” won Globes for best limited series, anthology series, or motion picture made for television; TV male supporting actor for Owen Cooper; TV female supporting actor for Erin Doherty; and TV lead male actor for Stephen Graham.
