In 1982, TransUnion was acquired as a subsidiary of Marmon Group, a holding company formed by Jay Pritzker and Robert Pritzker. It was spun off as a separate company under Pritzker control in 2005. The wealthy Pritzker family, most famous for owning the Hyatt hotel chain, began divesting the family's assets in late 2001 following the death of Jay Pritzker. Notable major divestitures include Hyatt Hotels Corp. public in 2009 and selling majority stake in TransUnion in 2010.[1] In April 2010, the Pritzker family, with Penny Pritzker as TransUnion Chair, sold controlling interest of TransUnion to a new majority owner, the Chicago-based private-equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners.[2] Madison Dearborn Partners acquired 51 percent stake in TransUnion, and the Pritzker family maintained 49 percent ownership. It is based in Chicago, Illinois.
MIAMI The Justice Department has shifted course on whether terrorism defendants deserve notice about evidence derived from formerly secret government surveillance programs.Prosecutors in a Miami case involving two Pakistani-born brothers now acknowledge they must notify the defendants if evidence from National Security Agency phone and Internet surveillance programs were part of the case. In May, the government insisted no such notice was required.The change follows leaks by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden revealing the massive surveillance programs to the public. The programs were authorized by amendments to the Patriot Act in 2008.Despite the shift, prosecutors say they don't plan to use any of this evidence to prosecute Raees Alam Qazi and Sheheryar Alam Qazi. Both have pleaded not guilty to terrorism-related charges involving an alleged New York bomb plot.
uno argues its time the state get on board with a plan that he claims can help up to 100 homeless Hawaiians a year.In 2010, Mizuno along with state Rep. Rida Cabanilla failed to sway lawmakers. But what they did next shocked many. Both Mizuno and Cabanilla started soliciting funds to send the homeless away anyway on a case-by-case basis. Mizuno chipped in $100 of his own money to buy a one-way plane ticket to send homeless man Gregory Reese back to Seattle, Wash.That didnt sit well with John Fox, director of the Seattle Displacement Coalition, who told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, he had never heard of elected officials using their own money to send a homeless person back to his or her home state.But Hawaiis relocation plan isnt a new idea. It is fashioned after a New York City program implemented six years ago. The Mayor Michael Bloomberg-backed plan bought hundreds of homeless families bus tickets, train rides and airfare so they could leave the city.According to the latest figures available, New York City spent at least $500,000 annually on Project Reconnect. From 2007 to 2009, the Bloomberg administration, which has struggled with homelessness, sent more than 550 families packing. They argue that sending away families is a lot less expensive than housing them in shelters which cost the city more than $36,000 a year per family.In Baton Rouge, La., the citys Metro Council approved a measure to send its 800 homeless residents out of
