Consumer Sundays: benefits from bankrupt businesses and details about detours
Well, I hope Eileen's column reassured you about what benefits bankrupt or belly-up businesses must pay --- traditional pensions are protected, as are 401(k) plans.
However, there is plenty that isn't guaranteed, like health insurance, and life insurance. So it's worth it to factor that potential uncertainty into your financial plan --- and your emergency fund.
This week's Watchdog sought out the reason why northbound Aisquith Street between Baltimore and Fayette streets has been closed for months.
It turns out ...
... that the inspectors for Baltimore's Department of Housing and Community Development requested the road be closed because falling bricks from the building next door were endangering pedestrians and motorists.
For more information about why a road might be closed, check out the traffic advisories posted on the Baltimore Department of Transportation Web site.
