The act gives state-compliant cannabis businesses access to financial services — such as bank accounts, loans and credit card transactions — and ends discrimination against medical marijuana patients and adult recreational consumers in federal public benefits. In many states, established medical cannabis businesses that already operated before full legalization are privileged for a portion of available licenses, squeezing their availability for everyone else. Mexican media have reported that Ortega’s basement was full of NFL and other sports memorabilia. Arturo Palafox, sports editor of the newspaper 24 Horas, said he talked to Ortega frequently in Houston both in the media centre and while riding the shuttle to and from the hotel. Brian Drent, president and CEO of Mile High Card Company, an auctioneer of fine sports memorabilia in Colorado, said Ortega told him last year that he had Miller’s Super Bowl helmet. “He asked me what I thought Von Miller’s helmet from Super Bowl 50 would be worth. When she asked for a raise, a supervisor denied her request, so she quit in July 2017 – and turned to a labor-rights attorney to help her file an unpaid-wage complaint with the California Labor Commissioner.

Thirty-seven states in all have legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes. ’t have to consult anybody,” the official said. Speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the case, the official said an agreement was reached for an unspecified victim in the U.S. Working with U.S. investigators, Mexican authorities obtained a search warrant and recovered the jersey March 12, along with another Brady jersey that disappeared after the 2015 Super Bowl. A Mexican government official confirmed that the warrant targeted Ortega and the search was at his home. Ortega also used his Super Bowl media access to take selfies with players, including at least one with Brady that he showed to Palafox. It wasn’t immediately clear how many Super Bowls Ortega attended, but the NFL said they found that he was credentialed at least as far back as 2005. A credentialed member of the media has access to prominent athletes. La Prensa published at least six articles in his name from Houston during Super Bowl week, including one about Brady being named MVP. Warner was named MVP at the 2000 Super Bowl. “He showed me Warner’s jersey with his signature and told me a story about how Warner was surprised that he was in possession of the item,” Palafox said.
Brady’s jersey went missing from the Patriots’ locker room after the game, and set off an investigation that stretched from Boston to the border. Mostly, a player will stand or sit in front of his locker while being interviewed by what could be a dozen or more reporters at a time, a scene replicated in several spots around the room. The winning team’s locker room after a Super Bowl is a loud, crowded place, filled with dozens of excited, celebrating players – sometimes passing around the Lombardi Trophy they just earned – along with coaches, various other team employees and members of the media. Ortega was also seen at Super Bowl auctions during the week of the big game. “When I met him he was carrying a football helmet and he was bragging about having the signatures of former Super Bowl MVPs, and he was a little disappointed that Marshall Faulk refused to sign it,” said Ariel Velazquez, who covered the game for the Mexican daily El Universal. An official at OEM, the publishing company that owns La Prensa, said Ortega was not part of its Super Bowl coverage and the company had no idea he was even there. He was surprised that someone with the rank of newspaper director would be covering the Super Bowl as a reporter.
“What happened with La Prensa was just because Mauricio was the director … From next year, this once proud institution will sew and stitch for only Nottingham Forest, Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers. A total of 843 residents from seven nursing facilities – all operated by one owner – were moved to the Waterbury Companies, Inc. warehouse in the town of Independence before Ida made landfall, Louisiana Department of Health spokesperson Aly Neel said. When a large team of state health inspectors showed up on Tuesday to investigate the warehouse, the nursing homes´ owner demanded that they leave immediately, Neel said. Ortega may have tried to sell it: A memorabilia dealer told the AP Tuesday that Ortega once asked him how much the helmet would be worth. “I asked him, ‘How did you get it? Drent said Ortega never offered to auction or sell the helmet and that the two never spoke again, although Ortega did try to get hold of him on Facebook. As they talked, Drent said, Ortega told him at this time he wanted to auction off a Patrick Ewing game-worn jersey and Jerry Rice game-used cleats. Such issues have inspired H-1B workers to join ranks and accumulate considerable political clout in a relatively short time.
